Good News Today

We got home before eleven which I find amazing.  The procedure was flawless.  When the doctor came in, he stated that everything looked just like it should.  The hip/femur healed fine and are both nested in the right place.  He stated that sometimes children have different bone lengths and most of the time the nervous system (which controls the bone growth) will "tell" the other bone to decrease growth until the other is closer in length.   If the bones do not catch-up to each other, the only rarely used solution is to clamp the bone and keep it clamped from the nervous system for a while until the other bone has grown to the desired length.  Then, they will remove the clamp.  He stated that this procedure would not be necessary for a few years, if need be.  I would think that a cast sounds better than a clamped off nervous system especially since this would not happen for a few years and I am pretty sure she would remember a procedure like that.   They will continue to keep appointments for follow-ups.  Now it is time for lunch and a nice long nap.
