Ronnie's operation update we are home!!!

[Guest guest]

Just wanted to add for whoever it was that talked about the

wheelchair being so heavy . . . there are very lightweight foldable

wheelchairs that can possibly be borrowed from therapy places or

hospitals for short-term use or long-term use. I would highly

recommend trying to obtain one of these so you are not overwhelmed

with the idea of taking that heavy wheelchair places. Insurance or

medicaid might cover one also if it's for long term use. Also there

are places --Goodwill, Salvation Army stores, etc. that might have

some or there's www.craigslist.org where you can plug in your town

and get items like this real cheap near you. Evan's rehab PT told me

about this list and said it was great for getting exercise equipment,

special needs stuff, etc. Actually I just looked it up and you can

buy about anything there. I think I even saw a real lightweight

chair for under $100 at Sam's once.

That is great news! I had no idea that any hospital ever did

anything FREE OF CHARGE!

I'm not remembering, what did they find to be Ronnie's problem? And

what did this surgery do? Did they give you any estimate of the

total time he will be wearing a cast? Do you know at what point he

will be allowed to put weight on it? I don't remember, how old is

Ronnie? Isn't it hard when you know he's in pain? We'll pray that

his recovery will continue to go well, and that God will provide all

the help you need when you need it.

(soon to be 3) has an ankle injury from a fall that is keeping

him off his feet for a while. Hopefully, not too long. Nothing

showed up on xray, but it could be a hairline fracture or a growth

plate injury or just a sprain. He won't put any weight on it, so the

doctor has put a makeshift cast/wrap thing to immobilize it for 2

weeks. Can't immobilize though! He has gone from scooting on

his behind to an innovative scoot/crawl or else the old army crawl.

He still sometimes wakes up hurting in the night, and I have to give

him Tylenol.

Blessings!
