Since our life is not interesting enough, the medical world thought they make it even more interesting for us.
Today I had a long talk with the boys Physical Therapist Miss Allison, who when I informed her that Connor was receiving the above mentioned surgery in April, right away asked me about Alexander's surgery date.
Well, I told her that the Doctor said we should give Therapy a try for another three months. She said she would talk to the Doctor but her assessment after 3 months of therapy is that the issues will not be able to be corrected by therapy alone.
As if our youngest had an idea about those kind of news he actually got sick on the drive to PT this am. He had to throw up and Connor being the supportive brother he is said for him to lay back and relax as we were on our way to the Hospital anyway ;)
By the time we got home there was a voice mail from the Hospital and it said that the Doctor looked over the x-rays again and compared Connor's and Alexander's and he agrees that Alexander needs the surgery as well. So they will try to schedule them for the same day if possible. Twins since Birth, twins with the Tethered Spinal Cord Syndrome and now twins in Casts in a bit under 2 months.
They both have been through a lot but this will be the first time they will be having surgeries at the same time and I was grateful to hear that my Mom will be flying in for the boys Birthday in April and hence will be here for the surgeries as well!
The boys are fighters and will get through this Spring and Summer with feet's in casts, I am not worried about them getting through this at all, I am just a Mom who hates them going through pain. So my wish will be that this will be as painless a journey as possible and that by fall and winter they be back to running and skiing or snowboarding.
Until April we will try to be on the go and as active as possible as I am guessing we will be laying low come April……
Hugs,
