Guess what?!!

Just gonna come out and say it.......CONNOR IS BRACE-FREE!!!! Finally, the moment where I can watch my son walk without metal, plastic, or leather assisting his walking. Of course while I cried tears of joy, he displayed that incredible smile of his!! This has been an amazing month. I feel as though every week there has been huge milestones accomplished. Dr. Standard was extremely happy with Connor's X-rays today. In fact, I think his exact words were, "These X-rays are an out-of-the-ballpark home run!" More bone growth and shape of the new bone growing in is "beautiful". Connor's femur bone is healed enough to start strengthening exercises in PT. With all of this said, the day time brace is no longer. However, Connor will continue to wear the brace during the night for another month or 2. The tough part now is to keep Connor from over doing it. He feels so good and wants to just take off. His activity is still very limited for another 4 weeks until our next appt. Here is a picture of Connor with the incredible Dr. Standard!
