We finally heard from Dr. Holderness and it's good news. He said no "acute" fracture could be detected. We are still not sure what is wrong - could be a stress fracture, hairline fracture, a nerve, muscle, but...he's doing much better today. He had a great bath and didn't seem to be in much pain when I picked him up. Dr. Holderness has ordered another x-ray for next Monday. He said to just take it easy and go by how he's feeling as to moving him, sitting him up, etc. We will try and get him in his power chair today. His physical therapist and occupational therapist will be here at 4:00. Also, his lungs sounded clear today and he's breathing much better. More good news! Nothing is worse than seeing your child in pain or not being able to BREATHE!!! Something we all take for granted.... He seems to be comfortable and feeling well and he's very happy today, which makes MOM extremely happy!!! I've attached some pics from today's bath and also of him tasting my birthday cake over the weekend. Naturally, he loves sugar! And he LOVES his baths. He moves so much in the water and I hate when he has to miss a bath or has a short one because of pain or respiratory issues. But, not today - today he had a great bath and made his cute sounds and kicked and wiggled for about 45 minutes!!!
Today is a good day................
