In an effort to get caught back up after a hectic end to our school year, here we go! Audrey had surgery at the end of April to correct her floating kneecap. It was quite the invasive surgery, and those first days were quite rough for us all. She handled it all like a trooper and has been making good progress. At five weeks post surgery, she was able to ditch her crutches, and by next week, we are hoping her big brace will get unlocked, allowing her to walk and bend her knee.
One glitch in her recovery came right away when she started running a fever two days after surgery. It continued for five straight days, which landed us a trip to Urgent Care first, and then to the ER in case of infection. After many hours and tests, we found out she tested positive for strep throat. Yuck! We were grateful for that outcome, as opposed to an infection!
Missing nine days of school, making up LOTS of work, and then going back to school on crutches made for a tough ending to the school year. We were so proud of how the grit and determination she showed. Hopefully it is only up from here!
