HAND AND WRIST SURGERY (muscle and tendons transfers)
Hi
We will like to know if some one could help us. Our daughter is 5 years old now. She had the primary surgery when she was 6 months here in Houston at the Texas Children's Hospital, then the last summer at the Texas Children's Hospital was performed the Mood Quad. Our life has been changed since our daughter birth. We left everything for our baby. When she turned 2 years old we moved from our Beautiful Caribean Island of Puerto Rico to Houston, Texas. We arrived here with our daughter in hands and alone at the point we do not where we will sleep because we do not had family or friends at here in Houston. Also was a new language for us (Sorry if I do any gramatical mistake). But we only think in our daughter recovery and well being. Now she have a good movement of her shoulder and her elbow, thanks, to the surgeries performed (Primary and Mood Quaad). Now the doctors told us is time to get some functional improvement of her hand and wrist. They will be transfering some tendons and one piece of muscle from her leg to get some function of her hand. I will like to get more information about this topic or find some parent with kids that had this surgery or are in the process. I has been traying to get more information but I can't find anything maybe because is something new in the microsurgical campus. The doctors said this is a high risk surgery and will take around 14 hours to perform this one. And some scars will be on her leg and hand. I write this letter to who will like to read our story and help us. I'm cryig and praying to the Lord, He is the only one could iluminate us to take the right decision. Thanks,
Jose & Ivelisse Morales
