Christmas 2010 brought several setbacks for Kara. She experienced five lacerations on the cornea of her left eye, multiple dislocations of her right patella, and a dislocation of her left hip. Kara is currently unable to walk, and has been confined to her home. On April 5, 2011 Kara underwent surgery to reset her left hip at Lucile Packard Children's Hospital at Stanford, in Palo Alto, CA. After discharge, Kara will have to wear a body cast for approximately two months.

This is her journey.

Homecoming

Kara will be discharged from the SNF tomorrow, which is exactly 4 weeks after her surgery.  She will be coming home.

Kara has her first follow-up appointment with Orthopedics on Thursday.  Hopefully we will get a cast-off date so we can count down.  I also would love to see an x-ray of the metal plate and screws in her femur.
