After a long 3 weeks of intensive physio we were more than ready for this moment. Good Bye St Louis thank you for being our home away from home
We are so Grateful for all our donors, the local business that got behind us and all our family and friends who helped us to pull this off. Also Dr Park who preformed the surgery we will never forget this journey and how we got here. Thank you everyone for helping to change our wee mans life for the better :)
Over in St Louis with Dr Parks it is recommended to have SDR surgery then PERCS surgery. SDR release's the muscles and PERCS lengthens the legs to try and help with the leg discrepancy. Damin has been working so hard in Physio and both surgeries have gone so well.
You read it 3 weeks of intensive physio before we get to fly back home. We had lots of up and downs with frustration and pain. He still amazes me with his courage and how hard he worked. Plus bribery to keep him working hard, a trip to the zoo :)
Damin needed to lay flat for 3 days afterwards, which was very hard. Although the room where they keep the SDR patients was incredible. En-suite, big space and huge TV, Damin was very impressed. Day 4 we were able to get up and start physio.
Damin had surgery on the 5th of July. It was a very stressful day. Damin was in surgery for 5 long hours. Then after that in recovery he got put back in because he woke up very aggressive. With him needing to be calm on bed rest for 3 days. He was admitted to intensive care and slowly woken up over 24 hrs. But the Dr Park said the surgery went as planned, which was great news.
Time has just flown by! We left to go to St Louis in America on the 26th June, ready for surgery on the 5th of July.
Brandon and myself just want to thank everyone who have supported us on this journey so far. Although we still have a long road ahead we are forever grateful and wouldn't be this far without your love for Damin. We are currently 11.75% of the way with $14,097.59. So keep with us to watch Damin's life changing journey ❤
On December the 10th we held a family fun day fundraiser for Damin. It was an amazing day, luckly the weather held out. Thank you to our supporters and the community for coming along and spending the day with us. We raised $4275. Big round of applause to everyone who helped to make the day such a success.
