Well Braxton has been out of the cast for about 2 months and I have been frustrated with his surgeon. I kept giving him the chance to make changes, but he never has. For one, I have been asking my doctor for physical therapy since the cast came off, but he still says it is not needed. Which I have never understood how he knows that because the man has never seen my son walk, he also has never taken off his shoes to truly examine his leg length difference. Most importantly I just feel like he is not giving my son the attention he needs so I decided I am taking matters into my own hands and getting a second opinion. My WONDERFUL Pediatrician who I seriously cannot say enough good things about has recommended a pediatric surgeon who works at St. Vincents hospital in Indy. I already like this new surgeon because he works at Peyton Manning Children's Hospital, but that is besides the point. I am just praying I get some good information and a better plan for Braxton's leg. Even if I am completely overreacting that is totally ok as long as I get some assurance that we are doing everything we need to be doing for my little man. The kid still has a horrible limp and I just want to make sure I do everything in my power so he doesn't have any long term issues.
So we are driving down to Indy this Monday and my mother and sister will be driving along with us. Conrad unfortunately will be out of town for work so he will be missing out. I am hoping this trip will be worth it and we get some information we need.
Kelsey is mostly excited to stop to get some PF Chang's:) We are also thinking about making it a fun trip so if anyone has any ideas please let me in out it. Also pray for Braxton because I know he is getting over this going to a doctor all the time. I also know how traumatized he is by all this and it truly kills me. Every time he falls he is afraid he is going to break his leg and I can already see him babying it. I just hope we are taking a step in the right direction. We will wait and see...Keep everyone posted.
