Today is 12 years to the date since Billy has been born. It's SO hard to believe that my "baby" is 12 now! Things are going very well now, we got Billy's new wheelchair yesterday and it is much easier for him to use than the old one we've had since he was 7. This one is geared toward HIS convenience rather than the parent's. On the leg front, Billy continues to heal and let that new bone consolidate. It feels so much better walking and doing physical therapy now that the fixator is no longer under all that pressure and he is bearing weight through the leg again. We eagerly await June 4th to see if he can get the fixator removed the next day (we are on the surgery schedule already, as problems are not anticipated). Fingers crossed that the xray looks good so the "fix" can be removed, and then it's just a cast for a month and then freedom for that leg!
