Well, it was 10 days ago when we had the MRI for Lucas. His Pediatrician called tonight about 4:45 to tell me that he had the results. Apparently, it is not his knee - it is his hip. He has a slipped growth plate. We had some xrays back in January that showed some signs of this but apparently it was missed. Now somewhere over this summer he has injured it more to where it is causing him more pain. So our appointment for tomorrow with the sports medicine orthopedist is changed to meeting with an orthopedic surgeon. We are to not give him any food or anything after midnight as he may be going into surgery tomorrow afternoon. Sounds like they will put a screw into his hip to prevent it from moving. I don't know much more than that. Will know more after the appointment at 9:30. So be thinking happy thoughts and I will let you all know what comes about tomorrow.
Til then...
