The bad news is that we spent virtually all day yesterday at the doctor's office. Bryce had a well-child checkup in the morning, and then we headed into the medical center for Isaac's marathon of appointments. He had his blood drawn (never a fun thing), several x-rays taken, followed by a visit with the doctor, several more x-rays, and another visit with the doctor. It was a long, long, long day-- I don't know how you working moms do it-- I was exhausted!
The good news is that we don't have to go back and see the surgeon for a year! He said that although the leg still looks pretty ugly, it seems to be healing well. We got a prescription for an orthotic lift that will attach to the bottom of his shoe to make the legs of equal length. The surgeon said that he should stay away from trampolines, bounce houses, and anything that might make him fall from a great height.
The more good news-- we started physical therapy today. We had originally planned to go to PT in the medical center, but due to their long waiting list, got a spot in one of the satellite offices instead. It's just about as close to our house and I parked right outside the door to the office. If you've ever fought with the full garages in the TX Medical Center, you know how happy that makes me! Anyway, I feel confident that our little guy, with his funny orthotic shoe, will soon look less like a bird about to take flight when he walks.
