We've just arrived home after the trip to hospital so that Kaylia can be fitted for a new brace. It's quite an event.... she has to lie still for quite a while with the wet plaster round her abdomen. When it has set, she can move again and she gets cleaned up.
Here she is lying facedown while the back half of the cast is applied.
After this has set, she is rolled onto her back and the front half is done. Then she is extricated and the front and back are joined.
At this point, we are no longer needed and we go home. The cast is used to make 'positive' and from that.... the final brace is made. It takes a few weeks till we are called in for a fitting.
