We got in to the nuerodevelopmental ped early due to a cancellation. There is definite concern in both home and school. But Sam is complicated with a lot of history at Gillette. He has already had some of the testing the doctor usually asks for, but there is some still to do. So we have opthamology and psychology to add to our list of doctors.
The fun bit there was the trip home. His big sister had her big wax museum project at school that day so I sent Daddy to see it while we were at the doctors. Then he had to get other kids after school so Sam and I took the bus home from St Paul. He was so excited but fell asleep on the way home!
Today we saw Dr Healy. you can see Sam's x ray above. The right femur has a lesion that looks about ready to break. Dr Healy wants to put a bone graft in and stimulate Sam's natural healing process to help heal the bone. That is surgery number 8.
It doesn't get any easier to hear your child needs surgery.
