Over the weekend Connor hurt his leg by stepping on his foot too hard leaving Andy and I concerned that he dislocated his knee or broke something. We took him to Children's to do some X-rays but everything came back normal. I took him to Shriners Monday and followed up with Dr Miller(Dr Gordon's associate) and he too said things look good and that this is probably a pin infection. We started a powerful antibiotic Monday and will be on it for 10 days. Since Saturday afternoon when he did this he hasn't been putting weight on it. We went to PT today and worked through it and the physical therapist said that with these infections it is very painful to walk on, so we just have to push through. We also began turning again yesterday. We had held off on turning until Connors foot was more comfortable with the nerve pain, something that we don't think will ever go away but we will be able to manage with medicine. Stretches continue to be extremely hard on him.
Things are still very day to day around here. I honestly cannot tell you when he will return to school. Things around here are very trying for all of us. This week is one crazy week with PT and Dr appointments and school meetings to PSR and preparing for Brendens 1st Holy Communion on Saturday I do not have enough hours in the day to complete it all.
Connors mood is all over the place as I expect it to be. Brenden, bless his heart, tries to help so much but in turns makes it worse sometimes. I always tell him thank you for helping and apologize for yelling. And Macie well she is doing the best she can understanding that she no longer gets all of mommys attention. Hopefully after this weekend we can find some time to just relax, I hope and pray.
