Gavin Update

Well, after two negative X rays, they can't find anything wrong with our little guy. He still can't muster up the strength to walk though. He just wont do it. He will stand up and try and take a step and sometimes he can take one, but then his leg starts shaking and he starts crying. It is a pretty sad sight. I did get him to take quite a few steps with my help today, but a few min. after that he was very irritable. Poor little guy. I know he would much rather be running around in the snow (thats right, I did say snow). Our dr. called today and seems to be pretty concerned that he still wont walk so we are scheduled to see an orthopedic specialist tomorrow at 9:30. I kind of hope that they just say, okay lady, you kid is just a big wimp and he is taking advantage of this injury. My biggest fear is that they will cast it. That would be horrible for us. But anyway, we will see. I am praying for some overnight healing tonight. I hope that gavin jumps up tomorrow and starts running and jumping again! We'll keep you posted.

We'll pray for Gavin! I hear that they do make waterproof casts for little guys...

My goodness! It has been several days. Poor kid! I hope you get some answers soon. Could it be some sort of an infection?
