Guest guest Posted January 2, 2006 Report Posted January 2, 2006 Hi Everyone, Over the last week has developed a limp and has been walking funny and has started falling a couple times a day. I called the Dr. this morning and then proceeded to take him to Children's Hospital for x-rays. An Orthopediac surgeon came out and told me has perthes. The hip joint on his right leg is not getting any blood supply and is therefore degenerating. He told me that the ball part of the joint is flat. He also told me that is not to walk on it or go to school (his develpmental preschool where he recieves pt, ot, and speech) until they can get him into the Orthopediac clinic and decide what needs to be done after further tests. The clinic was closed today, but I was told they would be waiting my call in the am. This poor little boy has been through so much. I ask everyone to keep him in their prayers. Thank you, Dawn McGee Quote
