    As a PT who worked in pediatrics in the past, I would definitely take advantage of the Early Intervention program in Utah that somebody else mentioned. Trunk strength is definitely weak as she's not able to sustain a sitting position independently, and she may be developing muscle imbalance and tightness in some key muscle groups. There are some great play-based excises that they can show you and that will help a lot. Best of luck! ❤️

      Yes but she can support her trunk perfectly as long as she is on her knees or standing up.

    I’m so sorry for the struggle you’ve all been through lately, and the upcoming surgery again for Derik. Sunny may be having a little struggle as well. She may be ‘W’ sitting because she needs a wider base of support to keep from falling. She may have some muscles that are a little tighter and others that are a little weaker so needs to ‘W-sit’ in order to maintain her balance. She may need a little therapy herself. The Early Intervention Program in Utah offers free therapy evaluations in your home if you are interested. You guys are awesome parents! 😊

    • @katek4275
      @katek4275 6 месяцев назад +28

      Yes, the W-sit is not good. It can create knock knees (genu valgum) and turn into a larger problem. Definitely seek resources to nip it in the bud before it becomes more of a habit

      My now adult Step Daughter and mother of 5 boys ALWAYS sat like that from a young baby girl until the present time. She's NEVER had any hip, leg or any medical Issues because of it. Some children just sit that way. Sunny goes to her Well Child Visits and as a Pediatric Nurse I know the Pediatricians always checks the child's hips. It's not like they have neglected anything as parents!!!

      Sarah, my Dr had me buy this stuff last yr called Xlean. It's an all natural nasal spray, w/xylotol(?) in it, and it works wonderfully for stuffy noses, allergies, etc. It helps to disinfect your sinuses by keeping it clear of bacteria & pollutants. I have yr round allergies, live in OR, and prone to sinus infections, & that has helped me sooo much! Praying for complete healing after surgery this time 🙏❤️‍🩹 Have a great Thanksgiving in Hawaii too! 🎉💜 Hard to believe Jack is 3 & Sunny girl almost a yr old! 🥰

    My knee story, over 40 years I had 13 surgeries, 2 years ago finally just gave up and had full knee replacement. Best thing ever. I can't tell in my everyday life I had this done. I can kneel down etc. Spent years in pain, limping around, passed on doing fun things because I knew my knee would not hold up. In those 13 surgeries, bone graphs, skins graphs etc. Very very long journey to now, new one works better than the other original that I still have. Yes back when this all started had two small ones, was in a wheelchair for 4 weeks in there too. Good luck to you.

    My daughter sat the same way. Could not break the habit.
    At a well check up the pediatrician I was informed my daughter had shown Hip Dysplasia and Issues with her knees. Had to see Ortho - pediatrician. There was still time to save and reversed. A funny note. I had to put high top tennis shoes on her at bedtime and tie her shoes together. 😂 it was very hard to stop her from sitting like that. She even slept like a frog.

    Do work on Sunny with the sitting. That kind of sitting often accompanies poorer core strength. It's also harder on joints. Pediatric occupational therapists can help guide you on this. Early intervention is best. Coming from a momma who had a kiddo in OT.

    I am so sorry, Derik (and Sarah, too!) I have a history with my knee that includes a couple of meniscus surgeries and it is always hard being in the recovery portion where it just feels so confining and takes enormous patience and resilience and can really take such a toll on everyone's mental health. I am happy to report that there was a light at the end of the tunnel and a LOT of time being able to do a lot of things again -- but it did require much more discernment and caution than I used to proceed with. There also were some things that I just really couldn't do anymore. BUT...there is so much life on the other side and I really believe you can do this and will get through the hard moments! You guys have such a great support system and I encourage you both to rely on it as much as you need and definitely make room to take care of yourselves and do other things that fulfill you (more mind and spirit and less body for just a while!). Wishing you all the best!

    Girl…I can relate to you so much. My husband is on week 4 post op from ankle surgery and it is ROUGH. I have 3 small children at home and sicknesses are constantly just circulating through the house. What seemed to work for ME (it’s kind of harsh, but this is how my brain works and how I cope) is to not let myself feel sorry for me for a second. No one is coming to save me from taking care of everyone (sometimes grandparents help which is appreciated) but it doesn’t do my mental health any good to feel sorry for myself. I hope this comes across helpful🙏😂 The work is nonstop until the kids are in bed and then I give myself a few hours to refill my cup before I go to bed, but during the day it is full on! Praying for your family!❤️

    Hey guys! I know Sunny only wanting to sit on her knees isn’t something you love talking about, but I’m glad you have because I can give you some advice! My 22 month old little girl did the same thing ever since she could crawls and she is now having to take physical therapy as well as wear “AFOS” because sitting like that caused too much pronation in her feet/ankles and it’s too unstable for her to walk now. Sunny seems to be doing much better than my LO, but I do advise you to do your best to discourage her from doing that so you don’t have a 2 year old walking on their knees like me. Thankfully physical therapy is doing wonders and we’ve got a goal of her walking by her birthday!

      I just commented about this too! I don’t have kids but I grew up sitting like that until I was 15, when I was diagnosed with PFS. I still deal with lots of pain from it. I’m glad you’re able to get your child into physical therapy, it wasn’t very well known when I was younger and none of us thought there was any concern.

      I second this. I had bought a new condo, and had so many congestion and dryness issues until we realized the floor planks were separating in some places and called the construction manager back to have a look. He said the humidity level was very low at 20% and to humidify the air. That made such a huge difference for us! Apparently new construction sucks up all the humidity for a while.

      @@alexandracosta2471 that’s great Alexandra. We now know that with “W” sitting the sitter is using their legs to keep them balanced and not their core. It can cause issues with gross and fine motor development Sitting in the W-position too often may create tight muscles in the legs and hips. If the muscles are tight, they may inhibit normal motion, affecting the child’s developing coordination and balance. The muscles that are affected include the hamstrings, hip adductors, and the Achilles tendon. W-sitting may be a sign that your child is avoiding coordination and/or independent movement on the right and left sides of the body. Sitting in the W-position limits motion of the trunk and discourages reaching across the body.

    I had a full open knee surgery when my ACL detached from the femur bone. I had a 9 month old at the time and 8 weeks after the surgery I found out I was pregnant with baby #2. Six months into the pregnancy my ACL came off again and I have never had anything else done to it, I was 19 and was told I needed a new knee but if I did get it done I would be looking at many surgeries over my lifetime. I just let the other ligaments compensate for the lost ACL but I have always felt a severe lack of stability and it honestly kept me from doing many many things during the last 27 years because I was always terrified my knee would completely fall apart. Now my "Good" knee has popped a ligament so I walk around like I'm going to fall at any second. Don't live with any instability in your knees because it will seriously impact how you live your life in ways you would never think.

    Not for anything else, saw in your vlogs you have not really completely healed yet but you assumed many usual things like socials like wedding, on an active adventure trip in Lake Pal, maybe others which we didn't see, so if you did follow STRICTLY the caition to observe and the time to wait you would be healed, then it would have been complete healing. Patience is a virtue, aside from you're not that spring chicken anymore, you are prone to accidents but fond of procrastination too instead of taking prompt medical attention, you first prioritized adventure and trips. If you would be operated again to fix the miniscule problem again now, it's fine but practice patience and restraint now to be completely healed. As for the total OPEM KNEE surgery, THAT WILL TAKE LONGER time to heal and if you didn't patiently wait again to completely heal, then more contraints later on. You might be totally crippled. You should note that going under the knife has risks too and the major operations have more. And throwing kids like that is not good for kid's health. Sunny's spine can be injured like Jack's. God gave you normal kids and hard if they develop illnesses later like deformities in spine or mobility issues.

    Dude, I did research and found that when you have bad knee problems it's best to do a full knee replacement. I just had mine done in April 2023 and I'm 41 and not even close to good health like you all and it was the best choice I could have made. I had a meniscus tear and they did a surgery and removed it and it did the same thing as yours so I said do the full replacement. No regrets at all.

    Guys I’ve been there- probably the most important thing is hiring someone to help with the kids. They are super active and Sarah can’t do it all. I like to make some meals in advance and freeze them. Put an ice cooler next to the bed to get your own drinks. Get everything as set up as you can for immobility. Don’t guilt trip yourself out or worry. Do lots of gentle stretching before and after. Oh and stay barefoot on the beach the entire time you’re in Hawaii 🥰🌺🌴🌊🌅

    It's good news that your surgeon recommended the open knee procedure for your revision! I just had MY 2nd TKR 5 wks ago (and 4 scopes over 20 years before replacement!) You can do it, be diligent with weight bearing, I know it's hard and frustrating.. but important. You need to heal but Sara, you need a helper/assistant. Even if just a few days a week. To help w the kids, laundry, etc. would relieve some of the demand. You're both worth every penny for what it would potentially cost. Being a caregiver is draining and emotional cuz seeing your spouse in pain is hard to deal with sometimes! Safe travels & happy Thanksgiving!

    Please please take your recovery seriously, give it more time than you even think you should, let it heal completely. For months. I’m sure you don’t need to hear this from me, who am I? It just takes a lot longer than you think for cartilage to heal. Way longer than broken bones. And bad joints can ruin your life.

You had to go over logs under branches and through raspberry bushes....my surgeon was so happy with my healing. The recovery was soooooo much faster than the others. I had needed replacements since I was 15 and had a speed skiing accident. Don't fear replacements.

My husband returned to work the following Monday. He severely burned both hands that day. So…I basically had total care for him, our newborn and 13 month old. And I myself was still recuperating from childbirth. It was a very rough time, with a lot of tears. But…you just do what you must and take it a day at a time. 🤷‍♀️

    I was fortunate that my oldest was 11 at the time and could help.
    The Church we went to all pitched in with meals, so there was one less thing to worry about.
    Let friends and family help, even if it's to go pick up a grocery order or prescription, fold clothes. Take D to PT, whatever. Ya'll have a wonderful support system. Use it! One day, you'll be able to return the favor.

    I just got to the part where Derik was talking about how Sunny sits, and I agree definitely work on getting her to sit differently. I grew up sitting in the “W” position and I developed PFS ( patella femoral syndrome, or runners knee) by the time I was 15. I deal with a lot of pain to this day, I’ve found ways to cope but there’s not way to fix it at this point. My parents just never knew it would be an issue back in the day, and most kids grow out of sitting that way. But I never did lol. I am not a parent and not at all trying to tell you what to do, just thought I would put in my experience since he had expressed concern.
