Sugery Time

For all of you who have patiently listened to me go on and on regarding Catie and surgery, I thought I would explain the situation since here we are. Surgery Day. Several months ago I noticed she was avoiding climbing the stairs. Wouldn't put her stuff away, wouldn't clean the bathroom, not too shocking but when she avoided going up to get on the computer I knew we had a problem. So, after several tests, several dr and specialist appts. and a couple of months of PT. We determined that she had a hole/tear in the cartilage in her hip. So, try therapy, did and had little to no improvement. So, more tests and determined that they only way to fix it was to do surgery. So, we jumped through a few more hoops and now she will be having arthroscopic surgery on her hip tomorrow to repair the tear. There is also a possibility that they will get in there and have to do other things such as shave the front of the socket and also "clip" the tendon. So, that is where we are at. The bag is packed, activities to keep her busy as she spends the next week recovering have been gathered and set up. So, we are as ready as we will ever be. So, tomorrow morning we will get up and get ready and off we will go to children's hospital. I will keep you all posted. Wish us luck....
