Our daughter had a femoral osteotomy and open reduction. Following is a list of questions we asked at her first post-op check-up which was a week after surgery.
1. Can she sit upright? Use a spica table? Go for car rides?
2. Can she take baths? Wash her hair?
3. Giving her pain meds as needed - any suggestions for how much to give or not to give?
4. Can she go on her tummy?
5. Copy of today's X-ray
6. Planning on nanny or daycare after cast change - what special instructions to give?
7. Cast change appointment - at valley hospital?
8. Can she be near cats? Dog?
9. What's next after cast change? Brace? For how long?
10. Planning an international trip at the end of the year - doable?
