Sorry this is a little late. Brandon, Kristin and I came back from Dallas last week. Brandon had the cast removed from his wrist. We all could hardly contain ourselves when Dr Birch said it could come off. Brandon does need to wear a brace for three more weeks, but at least he can remove it during baths.
Brandon also received a new more flexible brace. It will take him awhile to learn how to walk with it and more importantly- walk long distances. However, the brace is wild. Brandon thought it reminded him of the magical mystery tour. I will take a picture soon. We also jumped for joy when we found out we dont have to come back for 4 months (June). Not that I dont love Dallas or Brandon doesn't love it, but I am tired of the trip back and forth from Austin to Dallas.
In June they will check Brandon to determine if he will need more surgery in the same foot. It is very possible he will because the foot has started to turn inwards again. If the surgery is needed Brandon will go back in the hospital in late July or August. We will start the whole process over with 1 month no weight bearing (in cast) and one month with weight bearing (in cast) and recovery.
Four more months of no treamtent for now. Brandon is also seeing a genetic metabolic physician in the mean time who is running more tests to find a diagnosis. Will know if he finds anything soon.
More later
