Adrianna saw an Ortho Surgeon this morning and we were told that another xray was wanted of the knee to see if the small bone attached underneath the knee cap was chipped during the process of being dislocated. As well she has to start physio therapy as soon as possible to strengthen the knee and get her walking on it and off the crutches. When he touched the knee and the surrounding area it doesn't hurt Adrianna just when she tries to put her full weight then the knee cap hurts. Apparently because she is double jointed in her hands and her joints show excessive flexibility he thinks that her knee joint could be the same way. Hopefully by strengthening the muscles around the knee it will help prevent it from happening again or at least often. We see him again in November to see how physio is working for her but in the meantime if things get worse or don't improve then he'll do an MRI.
All in all she's doing good just wobbling around!
