No Cast

Well, we went to the orthopedic dr. yesterday morning. He took a look at Gavin and at Gavin's x rays and apparently found something that no one else could see. He found a small fracture in Gavin's knee. But he said that because babies heal so fast, Gavin has already started to heal, so he did not put a cast on his leg. Dr. Zeni said that if we would have come to him earlier in the week he would have put a cast on him. So I am so glad that we had to jump through hoops with our insurance and getting referrals and all that junk. It seemed like a pain at frist, but now I see the good that came out of it. It would have been aweful if Gavin was in a cast! Dr. Zeni also got Gavin to take a few steps. They were painful, but we are moving in the right direction. If Gavin continues to walk and show progress we just have to go back in two weeks for a final check up. If he seems to get worse or doesnt start walking more, we will have to go back sooner. On Thursday night I prayed that Gavin would be healed over night so that we wouldn't have to get a cast. Well, he woke up Friday morning happier than he has been in a week and he took several steps at the Dr.'s office! God is so good, ALL THE TIME! I know its easy to say that when good things happen, but God is good even when it seems that things are not going well. Thanks to those of you who said a prayer for us!

Hey! That's AWESOME about your answered prayer! i just experienced an answered prayer too that was an AMAZING God thing - of course all answered prayer is, but some answered prayers you look at and they can definitely be no LESS than an amazing miracle - and it's obvious to the world.

I'm so glad that Gavin is doing so well! I hope that things continue to improve!!!!

Wow, that is quite the story of what your little guy has gone through. I can just picture my son going through something like that. Trenton was sick last week and i could barely sleep, so i might have a mild stroke or something if that happened. Give him lots of suckers, that always makes my son smile or tucker as he trenton would say it.

Wow, I am so glad that Gavin is healing on his own! Praise the Lord for His answer to your prayer. I will pray that he continues to heal!

Awesome that it's healing on its own (God's doing!!!!) - - - but I'm confused - - - what is the picture of him in a cast a few posts ago? Was that just a temporary in case he needed the real thing?? Give him an "Auntie Brenda" hug :)
