Today Zachary had a follow up appointment regarding his leg, and things are looking good. Dr was very please with it starting to heal already. We thought for sure it was going to take awhile like before, but not this time. We did have his cast changed because the other one was a little low. So this time Zach picked out a bright orange. He didn't like the feeling of the other cast coming off though. He said he was scared, but I am ok with that. At least I know he won't get out of the cast and go running and hurt himself again.
Other than that nothing really new and exciting. I am busy working, going to school and still hoping to sell this house. Keep us in your prayers that we sell pretty soon before we lose out on the house we want.

...............................Broken
Zacharys Dr. finally got the cd of his last xrays from August in Boston and compared them and said his left femur is broken. I had to take him back to Syracuse to get it casted Friday afternoon. He chose a navy blue color and it goes from thigh to his ankle. He is getting around pretty good with it. He uses his walker as crutches around the house but when we go out in public he is in a wheelchair. We don't need him slipping and doing something more to it or his other leg. We go back in 2 weeks for a check up so until then its laying low for us. I will keep you all posted on the progress.

...............................Possible Fracture
Hello everyone. Sorry its been awhile but nothing to really update on, well until yesterday.
Zachary was walking out of school and tripped on his shoe lace and fell and landed on his LEFT knee with his leg bent underneath him. He came home crying and the bus aid actually carried him in the house so he didn't walk on it. For Zach to cry is a seldom occurance, and then to cry in front of people, you know something is wrong. Well we iced it, elevated it, and gave him tylonal/motrin because he absolutely refused to go have it checked out. It took us over 2 hours to get him to stop crying and calm down. I told him, I would make a deal with him. I would wait till morning and see how it is and decide then if he needs it checked out. He was fine with that and calmed down. He slept very well with no complaints, but when he woke up at 5:30 am he couldn't move the leg. I checked on him and he couldn't move it, bend it, or put any weight on it. Instantly I knew something was wrong so I told him I was calling the Dr. at 9. I would prefer him to see her instead of the ER dr's that don't know what he went through surgery wise. Well I took him over to Syracuse this afternoon and they examined and took xrays and they think he has a possible fracture of the LEFT Femur. They can't verify it until they get copies of the xrays from his Dr in Boston. So for now Zachary is non-weight bearing, in a immobolizer, and wheel chair for getting around. Hopefully we will know more in the next couple of days. If it is fractured he will be put in a cast, they just didn't want to cast it incase its not fractured then have to take it off and the cost is crazy since during this we found out Robs new insurance doesn't cover his dr. I about went through the roof because the paper we got said the doctor was a participating Dr. So now we have a outrageous medical bill since the whole thing has to be paid out of pocket. But I wouldn't refuse that bill since my son needed to be seen. Some day we will get some luck on our side. So for now Zach is relaxing in the recliner and let me tell you, he looks like a King sitting there barking out get this for me, oh I need this, Can you do this for me? Got to love our little monsters.
