Yesterday James had many visits to different doctors. One of them was his orthopedic surgeon. They took his cast off and took some X-rays. His leg is healing nicely, not 100% better but it's getting there. The bone is still slightly broken. They were going to put him in a cast for two more weeks but after finding out he can't run and just learned to walk again they said nevermind. He's just supposed to be very careful and take it easy for a few weeks. They said it could take up to 4 months before its back to normal. James is very happy to have it off but pretty nervous to even stand on it.
James also saw his eye specialist yesterday. His right eye is getting better. The doctor said he doesn't think he will need glasses. He has to wear an eye patch for 2 hours a day on the good eye and ointment in the right every night. He is finally used to his "ears" or hearing aids. He even asks us to put them in. He has another hearing test in two weeks. His therapies are going pretty good. He's getting more frustrated lately with OT. He just gets into the mind set that he can't do things. Poor guy! I try and remind him that he can do it and it's ok if he needs help. Other than doctors and therapists he loves playing with his sister and brother. He loves going to the aquarium and seeing all the fish. He is very excited for Santa to bring him snow. He has his next MRI in a month. I pray everyday that his cancer will remain gone!
