What a difference VEPTR makes

Before and After

Here are Ava's X-rays. Before surgery, a lot of things were scrunched in a small space and are now more opened up. It also really helped the scoliosis and her ribs aren't so close together. When she gets her second Veptr on the other side it should help even more. She is doing well at home, but it is a little hard to get used to the guidelines they gave us for her holding and moving her. We aren't supposed to let her crawl or put any pressure on her arms for another month. That will be tough since she started doing those things before surgery. Tomorrow Morgan and I are going to take off her bandages for good and give her a bath, so I'm a bit nervous about that.
