Update on Alex

It's been a long 2 weeks, but we really don't have anything to show for it! Alex is now in a wheelchair. That sucks! He's quite the trooper, though. He tries to do things like get in the car by himself, or in and out of his wheelchair or bed by himself, and sometimes he can do it! Other times, he needs someone to lift his right leg up and in. We did try crutches; NO GO! At least he's not in horrendous pain anymore. That's a blessing. We just wish we could find out more information. We can't get in to see the rheumatologist (to check for arthritis) until October 12!! It's just a waiting game until then.

Good luck!!! I hope he heals fast! I have to admit, I would like to see you try and carry him in one of those nifty baby pouches!!! You have such a cute family!

I hate how backed up specialists get. That sucks that you have to wait so long to maybe get some answers. Give Al a big hug for me...he's such a trooper!!
