Hip Hip Hooray! (Pun Intended!)

Another great report from Dr. Standard. X-rays continue to show little bits of bone forming. The femoral head of the hip is even rounding, where it use to be flat from the bone deteriorating. Dr. S said Connor's hip position continues to look great. Dr. was impressed with Connor's ROM in his hip. Connor could bend to 75 degrees which is the maximum degrees with the Ex Fix on.

We even discussed about what to expect after removal.  Connor will be getting measured for his next brace (much less invasive). This brace is an external brace that is an "A" frame which will be worn on top of his clothes.  It will be worn for a good part of a 24hr period for 6 weeks. Then, onto the next chapter of this journey. We are so glad you joined us on our journey. We hope you stick around for the next chapter. Thank you so much for all the continued prayers/support, cards, texts and emails.
