Re: & Collin

Kori,

Right now Collin is doing ok, not complaining as much about pain,

etc. Having to still put the DBB on a 3 year old is getting tougher

and tougher, I have broken down to bribing!!!! (Not just for the

brace but for potty training too) For now we are holding off, but

I'm going to stay to listen to the 1/2 hour discussion at the

conference on the external fixators just incase it comes down to it

for Collin. It was hard finding info. on it so I'll take any I can

get. I explained to Dr. H and his associate that a 3 year old is

not mentally ready for the device in my opinion and I want to hold

off. Dr. H said he is looking good right now. The whole thing

confused me a bit, one day he needs it the next day he's fine...but

I'm not going to fight the issue with Dr. H or his associate because

I trust them and since I don't think Collin is ready for it right

now anyways. I'll keep you posted though if they mention him

needing it again. I'm not sure even what they will say about him at

the conference were attending, I'm not sure what his 15 mins of fame

will be on, I'm assuming it will be on a child who switched to the

method at age 2, but who knows. I'll let you know. Thanks so much

for thinking of us, that is so sweet. I'll deffiantly post any

updates we have....it's kind of nice though not to have any right

now, we are just enjoying the summer, we have been through the

terrible 2's and just entered the 3's which seem tougher to me then

2......We just moved in June and Collin is still adjusting and

having a hard time some days, etc...so we are just sort of taking it

one day at a time lately.
