Sashenka news

here's the news

100% transient synovitis
http://orthopedics.about.com/od/pediatrichipinjuries/a/synovitis.htm

but there's a serious possibility that he has legg calve perther disease
http://children.webmd.com/legg-calve-perthes-disease

or epiphysis

if he has calve perthes, if it doesn't heal, he may need crutches in the future
but the doctor said usually this only happens after the child is over 5 and they discover it
for now, all we can do is watch him, and get more x-rays this summer
the orthopedic surgeon met with an American professor, and said when they blew up the x-ray, that it looked like early signs of legg calve perthes
just hoping for the best, because all we can do is wait and watch him closely
but he wants us to go to Boston Children's Hospital
the doctor was pretty concerned today
and spent a long time going over everything with us
he told us we need to watch this very closely
there's nothing we can do but pray and wait
because we really don't know what he has
but hope it's not the worst
the doctor says he's supposed to keep resting
so we have been out with him and make him stay in the stroller or on Sasha's shoulders (which is hard because Sashenka is a runner)
the point is, we dont know what's wrong
but the possibilities...
but there is definitely something abnormal
and hopefully it's the least serious
we did notice that often when he would jump or skip, he'd keep his right leg straight
we always thought it was so cute; now we see it's maybe part of his hip problem
