Today Starbaby had his 11th cast put on. Due to the heat of the last week his leg looked quite sore once his cast was removed... last time that happened, he ended up having a week our of casts and his foot regressed quite a bit, so I'm desperately hoping it's OK at the end of the next week. Today's cast is noticeably thicker than any of his previous ones... just what we want during a heatwave!
Starbaby has been ready for his tenotomy for a couple of weeks, but the consultant is away on holiday for three weeks - so frustrating! If it weren't for his setback and the consultant being away, he would probably have had 6 or 7 casts before his tenotomy, but it looks like he'll be tenotomy-ing next week, after 11 casts and 12 weeks of treatment.
Boots and bars are apparently taking three weeks to arrive at the hospital at the moment, so it's probably going to be 4 weeks today that Starbaby goes into BnB. Although I know that stage will bring its own challenges, I am desperately looking forward to not having to go to the hospital every week and being able to see Starbaby's feet for an hour every single day... and BATHS!
No change from last week, but hey, here's a photo (from a new angle this time)!
His foot is still a 1, and just needs its tenotomy to let the heel come down further and it will be officially corrected.
