...................Another Cast

So today I take Zach back to the ortho for a check up on his leg and hoping he gets the cast off for good, but to only be hit hard again with bad news. Zachs leg is not healing this time around so back on with a cast. Another 4 weeks and this one is even longer. This goes literally from his hip to his toes and strict non-weight bearing. Thats going to be the tough part, but we are going to really work on it.

I got to really sit and chat with the dr about this problem and I suggested to her ultrasound therapy. She told me the pros and cons about it but said it might be worth a shot with Zach. So we are waiting to hear from the ins. company if they will cover it. I am at the point where I will try anything for my son to be able to run around again and be "normal". This time he picked out a bright orange cast so he can cheer for SU. He is to funny and takes it all in without really phasing him much. The other option we talked about was bisfonsonate therapy (I know that is spelled wrong sorry). So we are waiting for our referral appointment to a nephrologist to discuss this option and to see if Zach is even a candidate for this therapy. I really need to read up on this the next couple of days so I know what i am going into when we go to the appointment.

Other than that, Marissa is healing well. She is putting weight on her leg (even though she isn't suppose to yet) and getting very impatient with the crutches. She goes back in 2 weeks for her appointment and hopefully she can start to bear weight and get moving again. My poor kiddos they are just a train wreck. But with all the love they have and get we know they are just fine.
