Lil Eve’s Open Reduction

 

On August 16, 2022; we started are way down to C.S Motts Children’s Hospital in Ann Arbor, MI. The Children’s Hospital is part of the University of Michigan Medical system and is one of the Top Children’s Hospital in the United States. We made it into Ann Arbor at around 10pm and then checked into our hotel for the night 

We checked into the hospital at 6:15am the next Morning and was called back to Pre-Op at around 7:30am. The surgery team went over what to expect before being her back to the OR. We walked with her and then separated at the door. I got to say this was hard being separated from my baby. 

She was in the OR for over 4 hours which I spent exploring the children’s hospital to keep myself occupied. Waiting had to be the hardest part of this for me. I know she needed the surgery but hard. Lil Eve was inpatient for overnight observation after. 

She had an Open Reduction on her left Hip which moved her bone back into the hip and they tightened tendens to keep it in place. She was then placed into a Spica Cast for a estimated 12 week healing time. We return to the Children’s Hospital on September 28th for a hip check and Cast Change.
