Connor continues to stay strong. He try's and stays as happy as he can but he still has many difficult moments of not just pain but the whys. It's hard to get a 6 year old to understand and even harder for him to control his emotions when the pain is just excruciating.
We saw the drs Wednesday and had X-rays done. He's got about 2" of new bone growth! And had another 3/4" taken off his lift. The bonus break is healing but it will need to be fixed after the Fixator is off, there is nothing that can be done now. We should be done turning Wednesday May 28th, we have another dr appointment that day so we will see if turning will be officially over. They have some concern with the lower half of the break closer to the knee in that it is being pulled down and they may have to try and align it better, but that will be addressed next visit.
Physical Therapy...well it plain sucks. We are going to talk to the dr about having Connor talk to a therapist and maybe discuss if there is something he can take for the anxiety he gets during PT. We are running out of ideas to keep him calm but his PT sessions are screaming to the point where he has been moved to a private PT room during the stretches as to not scare or distract the other patients. He hates it. His behavior during this time is something we have never seen and I can't stand seeing him like that. The good is that once PT is over by the time we are outside he has calmed down but is very tired(I would be too the way he gets all worked up and screams. I'm surprised he hasn't lost his voice.).
Connor graduates Kindergarten this Tuesday!! Seems like he just started school yesterday.
As for this weekend. We are going to try and relax and enjoy it. We have been invited places but he haven't committed to anything yet.
Thank you to all who have served and are currently serving our country and who lost their lives protecting our country! Happy Memorial Day!
