Over the edge race car fans: February 2009

We went to the dortor's and we got no good news. Chunks bone still are getting smaller. Here is a description of what it is off of WEBMD. Legg-Calve-Perthes Disease (LCPD) is one of a group of disorders known as the Osteochondroses. The Osteochondroses typically are characterized by degeneration (avascular necrosis) and subsequent regeneration of the growing end of a bone (epiphyses). In Legg-Calve-Perthes Disease, the growing end (epiphysis) of the upper portion (capital) of the thigh bone (femur) is affected. Researchers believe that an unexplained interruption of the blood supply (ischemia) to the capital femoral epiphysis results in degeneration (avascular necrosis) and deformity of the thigh bone in this area. Symptoms may include a limp with or without pain in the hip, knee, thigh, and/or groin; muscle spasms; delayed maturation of the femur (delayed bone age); mild short stature; and/or limited movements of the affected hip. The disease process seems to be self-limiting as new blood supplies are established (revascularization) and new healthy bone forms (reossifies) in the affected area. Most cases of Legg-Calve-Perthes Disease occur randomly for no apparent reason (sporadically). The doctor has high hopes for him with the fact that he is so young. She kind of scared me today when she said that if he was 8 she would have no othere choise but to do surgery. It is still hard as a parent to have your child have something wrong. Corbin will still be playing scorer as long as he does not have any issues. My litte guy is being so strong with it all of this. But mom is the big baby.....

The best way to come home!!!
