DDH open reduction , adductor tenotomy

My daughter was diagnosed with DDH. She underwent open reduction surgery and was immobilIzed for 6 weeks using hip SPica. Now her SPica is removed and it's been 50 days after her surgery she is still on bed. We had Xray 20 days after surgery and one after SPica removal both looks good as per doctor. My daughter is still on bed. she is moving her right leg fully but left leg is little slow. She is not showing much activity with this leg, it's kinda stiff. Also, she is not able to sit and walk now. Previously she used to sit and walk by herself. Can anyone tell me the schedule when she will fully recover? What care to take after SPica removal ?
