Friday we went to Boston to see Zachs genetics Dr, & Dr. Spencer for his leg. Genetics went pretty well and they want to order him for a sleep study because he isn't sleeping very well & when he does he isn't well rested. He has been falling asleep in school and on the bus alot lately. The other specialist they want him to see is a hemotologist. He bruises so easily and basic lab work shows nothing so they want to look into it a little more.
Next appointment was Dr. Spencer. We got there and had xrays and got called into a room rather quickly. Always a great thing for me. I would rather wait in a room than the major waiting area. Dr. Spencer came in went over how Zach has been feeling, what has he been doing and reviewed his xrays. After that she looked at his leg, told him a few rules in order to get out of the cast. She also told him about the 4 wheeler and to be extra careful. We walked out of there with no cast on, he can use his walker in the classroom and with us, but otherwise he is to be in his wheelchair. He wanted no wheelchair but since he is a such a go-go boy we need something to hold him down a little longer. The femur isn't totally healed but enough that he is safe to be on his own. We start PT tomorrow and he will get it 2-3 times a week. I am hoping it won't take long for him to rehab back to his normal self. He already has full extension & flex of the knee joint which isn't bad considering he has been in the body cast for 3 months.
We are suppose to go back to Boston the middle of July and hopefully that will be just as good of a appointment and a easy in and out. Thanks for all your thoughts & prayers. You don't know how much they really do help and what they mean to us. I am going to share a picture of Zachary with his Doctor.
Zachary & Doctor Samanth Spencer. The best ortho doctor around in our eyes.
