Boy Amazed With His Results After Surgery | Children's Hospital | Real Families

Located in the heart of Dublin's north city centre, a place serves

children

from all corners of the country, offering hope in times of uncertainty and times when I am invited to participate in decision making through

surgery

and, Since students are in the emergency department, you never know what's going to come through the door next to pay staff. You have to be ready for

surgery

at any time. I see a tree clearly in

and their children undergoing life-saving treatment on the day they would be long-term patients. amours Fleming arrived from Galway was born in a country in case she is a former Beatle Sandra Martínez is all about the bones as if it affects the back the fingers the legs the knees Thomas has a rare condition called Beal syndrome, which is also known as congenital Contractural Arachnoids actually arachnid actually means long fingers like spiders.

The condition is characterized by joint contractures, so problems with knees, ankles, toes, elbows and hands are extremely rare and there are only a handful of children in the country with this condition. Thomas has been very unfortunate because his condition is quite serious and he has had a lot of problems with other areas, particularly in his spine, and so far he has had to undergo multiple procedures there. Well, he already had his two kneecaps, they had his tendons in his boat, fish, they were done twice, he said grooves in his back to move his spine, so he has already undergone three operations on his back, where he will have more in the near future on the back today tomorrow.

They are operating on his fingers, where he has spider fingers, so God's plan solves his big problem. He can't straighten his fingers. He has contractures in his joints and also some skin membranes in those joints. He would have limited the range of functionality of it in terms. of what he could grab, what he could do with his hands, particularly with reaching for things to enclose the grip of the minis and also with letting things go to see how this goes before going after his dominant hand, the one he's doing today . I don't

real

ly use it much, it's the other hand that he uses for everything and I use this one to write and this one I like to live like a fool and since this one was very weak I can't get away, look, everything he does with his finger is not with his fingers, it's more like with his wrists, you know, he grabs things, you know, like that and I know he hated special problems in the past, but he's not standing, nothing like no, he has no ventilation.

Hell no, Thomas is relaxed, the nurses saw him and we did his waistband and we helped him and prepared him for the movies at the temperature, another graduation, this good dozen. I think he will get worse as he gets older if it's not right. to help him maintain an ordinary life so he can pick things up and use his hands correctly like the rest of us do. I'm not quite sure how immediately he was going to do the best he could. He is still in the waiting stage. he has to be called to the operating room, hopefully at any moment he would be in the emergency department.

One-year-old Shawn Sherwin has arrived. Shawn is a tearjerker, oh boy, that he wrote the tapestry today because he doesn't walk with his left leg. He tripped and fell yesterday afternoon and after the fall he was seen to be put to sleep by his parents and he woke up this morning. I refused to put weight on his left foot. He's going to take a look at your leg. Okay, we'll start with this. One that we started with a good one is we saw that little babies are very busy, as you know, and they tend to run around tripping a lot and, well, it seems like we just walk, we just take a few steps, she doesn't.

I want to profess when kids your age fall you can get what we call a French toddler that's what I'm going to look for I'm going to do an x-ray how they like us Mary although it's that something was sprained instead of Then it was nice because, well, He seemed to have pain in his left foot, so we sent him for an x-ray. Hello God, thank you, thank you, so we have to take off her shoes and socks and what about the dress? Okay, okay, just turn it up. here while I'm doing it yeah on x-ray he got a little scared he'll leave after a few tears and he was fine damn you know it's a busy day in A and D like the four year old Oscar circus and too.

He arrives with an injury tell the doctor what happened I traveled to the edge we tripped and crashed into the corner of a table it's okay and you hurt your head if you heard it I bled like after that happened yesterday he didn't openly pass everything to me or I I didn't bomb my sanctuary, he didn't, I'm just going to take a quick look at him, okay, I'm

real

ly sorry right now, you're a kid, oh yeah, that's it. It was the first time I really took a proper look because I thought I was really nervous if I'm sure they'd seen a lot worse here, so that's a bit deep.

You just need to put some glue and some paper on top of each other, so okay, okay, okay, cool, we've seen that. Here we clear a lot of head injuries through the Tempest Rate emergency department on a daily basis and we clear a lot of head injuries and before they used to sew them up and have to go to the operating room under general anesthesia so now I prevent all that. It is less problematic for the child and not for the parents, you are fine, you are fine, what happened to you? My God, you usually go to the extremes of children, they choose you, you better eat the chassis and they will want them to tell you everything.

In this regard, like Oscar was, you have children who are scared and need to know a lot of peace of mind. You turn your head kindly and gently towards mom. Perfect. That's very good. Alright. Alright. That is hard. With the complete x-rays of him. Sean. returns to the emergency department. He was looking at the x-rays and he looks good, yes, yes, he looks good. I don't think he has a factor, so there is an overlap with this bone, so it's not seen as clearly. You should have seen him, but the x-ray has shown that he has a foot fracture at the base of his first metatarsal, which is just on the inside of the foot.

It wouldn't be a typical fracture now. You see that in a small child they tend to fracture more than especially a bone called the tibia and what you do see, the strange fractures of the foot, does that mean a cast? Oh yes, a back kicker. They don't like casts. Little children don't like anything that can do that. it would impede their movements, but the thing is that some of them, when they have fractures, we don't actually put casts on them, because it depends, so many fractures can be handled without asking, but in his particular case he was very sore. when he put his foot down so they might as well put him in a cast now until they bring him back to the fracture clinic and then they'll have to put him in a fall of at least a contracted one. now we know we can deal with it and we know what's wrong, we just don't know, it was a little discouraging but at least we know it will be okay now.

It's a fracture, anything in the feet is very painful for children to walk. the cast would immobilize the leg, now the disadvantage of the cast is that children get very upset when they feel their restrictors, they know they can turn around, they can't walk and then it hurts something like that. would be sore the temporary cast we put on in the emergency department is kind of a half cast after rest and elevation at home they head back to the outpatient department while Sean heads home with a temporary cast the mosses head to the theater I used to Go to Canter.

I met him a few months ago. The idea was to take him to the operating room and do a procedure where we could straighten his fingers as much as we could and correct the skin membranes across the joints to try to improve his range of motion, particularly in his first web space, had a very limited first web space and that tends to limit your ability to grab larger objects, like cups, glasses, that kind of thing, so yes the priority was the first web launch, but we also freed up the fingers or checked those small allergies, so registrations are not rushed.

Basically, he had five separate operations in his hand, all at the same time and one for each. the contractures and the fingers of it and one for the first web space between the thumb and index finger that was tied, it would have had release of fibrotic constrictions in the joints and in the web space and some muscles were raised from their origin to allow space Web. to go out and then they did a skin correction to what is called Zed plastic to increase the length of the skin and correct any webbing that was on his fingers, in each of the fingers they released a joint contracture and then adjustments in the skin to keep the finger straighter and some pins to hold the corrections.

He will need to change the bandage in a week and will need to remove the pins in three weeks after a complicated surgery. Tomas spent the night on the upper superficial wound that was outside the tires and I got very hungry the clothes faster throughout the KS and until I returned from the master he was quite comfortable after the surgery and had his usual I am GZA, which It's a pain relief because they went to milk, my quick went up by half. the night with the one I feel, it doesn't hurt much, my fingers tingle a little, so it's much better that I've ever done it.

No, it's going to make a big difference in AUD. I started preparing for blue. I asked his headspace. Everything I'm going to do. now is to clean it with some water nice and gently, basically what you have to do is give it a good clean to make sure there is no dirt inside the wound. I want you happy that there is no dirt in the wound that you both covered. sides up and if you have good alignment when weaning, the horse's eyes meet exactly and you have no skin, so you are not missing any piece of skin, then you can glue the wound, but if you have a little skin at the end You wouldn't know it and of course, since it's her face, you want to be absolutely sure she's about to be perfect before you play with your blue/white until the boys collide here, there, so cook, everything What am I going to do now is cold.

Clothes like this, shiny, the glue is like cream and you don't even feel it. That is the most important. Sometimes applying the glue like we did required you to wrap them in a blanket, but he was actually quite capable of doing that. you interact with us that we were able to do it without wrapping it in a blanket the biggest fear they have is that you are going to hurt them because of course it is already hurting them and they are so scared by the fall that you are not going to cause more distress than by hurting them, so explain exactly what you're doing in each set tends to help them at that age, you can't be once you break the skin if Bush doesn't have a scar.

It's their course with minimal scarring there with - because the edges lined up very well and the glue stick with very, very well put together all good tomorrow you'll be better now the nurse fixes you if you're using it - looking where they're going, did we learn our lesson?, see where you run here, yes, you are going to walk, you are just going to walk, that school was brand new now, so after a few days, the little white stickers would start to lift up the edges, I just fastened them with pins very gently, it's okay, it went home an hour after gluing and then the moment was enough to keep it.

I won't try for five days, so you're free to go. Thank you, major, bye boy, you're leaving. see you later a week since his last visit to temple street the mosque returns to have his cast removed today he returned for a cast change and a look at broken clay from the artists and the thing that a certain favorite nervous and needs to sing then Dick Thomas had his first change tackles today everything looks good and healthy the wounds are healing well he has a little bit of blistering and near the sites of the Kirschner wire insertions so we'll just clean them out and give him some antibiotics right on the Es There may be a little bit of infection starting there, we've changed his bandage, re-split him and we'll see him again in two weeks to remove the pins and then we'll start his rehab while some of the horse goes back to the parlour.

Sean is also happy. I'm back on a special hunt, this one you opened, do you want me to help you? Really happy, it's been a few days and he was pretty upset when they were putting his temporary cast on the ball here, just. More than anyone else at home, it was a little harder than I thought it would have been with a three week old baby and trying to control him, he obviously can't walk in the cast, not a low point, no pressure on his heel at all , so he has a name and the baby and the other ID, you know, I mean at the KIC it's pretty hectic, although today is the time for the permanent cast and this was just temporary until we got the appointment to come here . and he put on the right thing, obviously he is improving, but in the x-ray we see that there is a small crack and it will give him more support than this, yes, his foot was getting quite tired and at night he was piling up. crown, so to me it's like he's starting to form tribes, maybe withThis we're going to have a lot more support and pressure on the core theory to help them, so I don't think it will hold up as much as that. what they said so we are very eager and eager to get this one on it just slipped on the tires literally the tornado was on four and I couldn't believe it no please it's not your new boot oh that you can see so many of them.

In this class with children we couldn't see it yes and we give you a shoe well. Thank you a million, bye, I think how do you remove the pins. Tomas returns to the physical therapy department to begin the final part of his procedure. Today he came to have his cast removed and they found a fracture at night. His fingers look very good. surprised, he did an absolutely brilliant job with them and so on, he shut up himself, the husband in the ditch got out of you and retreated, you know, I was in shock, Victor. They released me very well.

I didn't expect them to turn out so well and it was just a little. It's strange when the glasses in my hand felt like him. A popping helium balloon is so nice and I'm so glad you need to keep a flat head. It's nice and direct. Rajesh. The difficult parts would have been the rehab and surgery. The easier part for both him and me, the hard part will be that the rehab will probably get him to a stage where he has better extension and range of motion, but he certainly won't have normal function or range of motion. normal.

Follow him for several years until he is fully grown. Hopefully, his hand function will be perfectly adequate for activities of daily living, which is the plan, and we will probably have to do surgery on his other hand if we get a good result on this one. you push dad for me to measure she said you've done it, show me a stretch to do during the day move your tongue because it's a little stiff it could never work wonders without hunting you know, because it's hard it falls apart even to grab things that couldn't and today to look at resumes you will be able to hold a pint glass that in your hand you
