Gillian gets a cast

Yesterday we had our first visit to the UCSF spina bifida clinic. Having made the rounds to way to many specialists for Jordan, we were looking forward to being able to see of the of SB team in one visit. Our expectations were far exceeded. UCSF delivers again. On to what we learned at the clinick..

PT - keep streching her feet and lower legs. Good movement, doing well.
Ortho - Cast applied to address her club foot, measured for ortho shoes that we'll get once the cast is off.
Neurosurgery - Wound is healing well, don't worry about the blister.
Urology - Keep cathing for the next year and repeat the VCUG to see if we can discontinue the cathing.
Social Work - Will arrange for PT and other therapy as needed plus respite care.

All in all, Gillie is doing very well. Did I mention she weights 10 pounds?

In two weeks, we have a return visit for another head ultrasound and to remove the cast. More news and pictures later...
