Wyatt's last Shriners appt. on March 10th

Everything is looking really good. There is still a small dense area, but its not bad.

Wyatt had to tell the doc that he has NOT been wearing his braces at night (he doesn't

like them and the way they feel) and he cheats alot and uses his walker when he is home and

does a speedy gonzalez act with it. He always ends up walking or hopping really fast and just

not doing what he should be doing. It has been like 2 1/2 years being in the wheelchair and he

is just sick and tired, tired and sick of the thing. It is so hard for him, knowing he can walk with

no problem and NOT being able to. He is miserable. When he went to his appt. in December, the

doc told him if he continues to do what he should he might possibly be out of the wheelchair by Dec. of 2009. Well this last appt. she said the xrays looks so good and if he will PLEASE use his wheelchair more, and WEAR his braces (she even said dont wear them 12 hours, just say from 10pm-6am) and not walk, he will be out of his wheelchair come his next appt. in June. She also

said, from how good the Xrays look, if he had been wearing his braces and not walking/cheating,

he could have left the wheelchair and walker at the hospital and gone home and started walking again (no running though for a lot longer). That kind of upset him, but its his own fault for not doing what he should. He knows what he should do and chooses not to. Anyhoo, hopefully by

June, he just might be out of the wheelchair. So maybe next year in 3rd grade, he will no longer have to use the elevator at school (the new building should be done at school by then, so the portables will be GONE).
