Great News!

Today, Connor had his 1 month PT evaluation. The therapist were very happy with his ROM numbers. Hip 75 degrees and his knee was 45 degrees, which was done all on his own. Due to his progress he only needs PT 2x a week at this point. Yahoo!!! One less trip to Baltimore, I'll take it! We were told it is typical protocol to reduce PT at this stage of the journey as long as the numbers are right. However, if there are any signs of regression we will need to increase to 3x again. Connor has been working really hard at home with exercises. We are hopeful that he can continue to have progress. After our clinic appt. Monday, I had more questions regarding Connor's X-rays. Dr. Standard reviewed his X-rays again and sent this email. 
EMAIL: I was able to go over Connor's x-rays. It is still too early to see any signs of regrowth at this point. We usually start to see the earliest signs at about 2 months, definitely by 4 months we should see some changes. No further fragmentation after the fixator was placed. Shenton's line looks good, this means that the hip is positioned well in the fixator. Overall the head looks very stable and is in a good position. It is still too early to see x-ray changes for healing but is optimistic that Connor should have a good result.
