2 Years GONE!

Can you believe it? It was two years ago today that David and I were told that something sinister was growing in our sons' leg! All those days spent in hospital, fighting, praying, crying, being emoitonally and physically drained seem so long ago. Its a strong, poignant memory, but one that (thankfully) is fading as I watch Reid cope easily with his day to day activities.
A month ago it was thought he would have to have another Illarzarov frame put on, as a break from December 2008 just didn't seem to want to heal. However two days before the op I phone the Orthopaedic surgeon and asked if would be possible for him to see us before the op as I thought Reid was much better. We had another x-ray and Dr Pincus compared it with the one taken a month prior - amazingly, my feelings were right and the surgery has been postponed (hopefully indefinately) We see Dr Pincus again next week for another check up, but gaging on Reid's mobility all looks great.

I drop him off and pick him up twice a week from Gymnastics!@! I know; what a full circle we have come.

Reid will continue to have MRI's and CT Scans for next few years until remission is finished (approx 4 years to go). He will see Orthopaedic surgeons for the rest of his lfe but the visits will become fewer. He will most probably walk with a limp and he may not be able to run - but with the big picture in site - who cares.
If anything changes I will update, but at the moment, David and I are celebrating our two year anniversary quietly but very happily.
