RE: A Xmas story and a tip of the hat
What a cutie Simp! Iknow she's spoiled rotten! Name please!
My seven yearold (Cory) goes under the knife @ 2:00 pm Monday. The stroke he had in uterus has caused the muscles in his legs to atrophy. As a result, his femur bones, on both sides, have twisted inward (24 degrees on the left, 30 degrees on the right). Surgeons will cut both femur bones right below his hip joint, and then re-align his femurs in their correct position. They are also going to cut and lenghten his right calf and hamstring muscles. All this surgery will supposedly make his gait more efficient and will eliminate future knee and hip problems. He will be placed in a hip spica cast (mid-chest down both legs to his toes. A stick will hold his legs apart, at the ankles,by two feet) for six to eight weeks. All this will be followed by six months of physical therapy. The dynamics in my house are about to change dramatically!
I am sure you are with me when I say, "don't take the little things for granted". They should be cherished!
