cinherenow,
We've on this forum have found that each doctor has different restrictions. Jamie will be five months post-op tomorrow (Wow!) and she was in the pool for therapy at about two months. She is allowed to ride her bike, but hasn't yet as she is still a little nervous. She is not allowed to go to an amusement park with her band or her eighth grade class this month. She isn't even allowed to run, jump or take gym for at least another month.
I never thought about tape over the scar. Great idea! I bought the highest spf we could find and plan to use it often. Just a reminder to everyone, kids are exposed to the sun a lot even if they aren't swimming. For example: when my daughter wears a tank top, her scar sticks out at the top.
Good luck to your daughter. I'm glad she is finally on the road to a full recovery. Tell her to take all of us with her to the Bahamas! Please!
