I have to remind myself to do that every now and then. I’m so overwhelmed with emotions I can’t tell you how I feel. A week ago the doctor told us that Josh was diagnosed with bi-lateral Blount’s Disease and I didn’t know how to react. I had never heard of such disease before, let alone know anything about it. Of course once we got home I was on the internet trying to find and read as much information as I could. Believe it or not, there’s not a lot of information out there. However, I am determined to be as informed as possible.
On Monday, we went to the orthopedic specialist to get fitted for the braces. The specialist took a bunch of measurements of Josh’s legs and fitted him for some new shoes and we were on our way….that is after waiting in the exam room for over an hour trying to keep a 16 month old entertained. No fun! We will go back in two weeks to get the braces - -.that will be when the challenge begins.
I know that kids are resilient (I bet you never hear that before), but when it is your child it’s so hard to believe. I know that this is going to be much harder on us than him and he’ll adapt. I’m thankful that we caught this early and I know he’ll never remember any of this.
He is perfect in every way and we love him very much!
