I realize I should have documented the joyous moment when my daughter's cast was removed, capturing the essence of our Christmas miracle. Witnessing her rediscover the capabilities of her legs should have been a celebration shared with others. However, despite my initial excitement, a lingering fear overshadowed the experience – the worry that the progress made through intensive surgery and casting might not be sustained.
Throughout the holidays, I grappled with internalized concerns as I observed subtle nuances in our DD’s (Dear Daughter's) movements that raised red flags. Despite my desire for everything to have worked seamlessly, I hesitated to share these apprehensions, fearing the possibility of setbacks.
Now that the holidays have passed, the need for clarity has become paramount. Today, I took the proactive step of reaching out to the orthopedic office to schedule a re-examination and another X-Ray for our DD. The upcoming appointment is on Thursday (1/4/24) and is a pivotal moment that will either calm my fears or confirm them. Although I find it challenging to admit, I am nearly 100% certain that her leg has re-dislocated or shifted out of socket.
As I mentally prepare for the impending appointment, my thoughts are tinged with anxiety as I compile a list of follow-up questions to ask the doctor. Above all, my hope is that my concerns are unfounded, and that the initial success of the treatment has endured. While I am anxious about what may be discovered during this appointment, I hold onto the possibility that the outcome will exceed expectations.
