We need him cleared

I think David is doomed. During the beginning of baseball while playing basketball in the yard he fracture his thumb. Now he's in football and while in the pool a couple of weeks ago he had his brother on his shoulders and heard something pop. We thought nothing of it cause he rested and was able to continue with going to his friends. Well while up at my moms he was having some hip/back pain. Then he got sick, so we put it as that. Now he has been practicing football with his team and has really been complaining. Well his physical appt was the 14th, so he told the Dr. who than took an x-ray. OOPS!! Not good news. A piece of bone from the hip is off. The Dr was explaining that the muscle is stronger than the bone and that when he heard the pop a while back it was the muscle ripping a layer of the bone off. With that said he is not released to play. We have to go to the ortho surgeon on Thrus. the 21st to see what needs to be done. Obviously this is going to be a long process to heal. I don't even know if he will be released for basketball. He is suppose to take it easy and not run, not to allow anyone to tackle him, not swing a golf club. Until of course we see the ortho Dr. He might even have more restrictions.

He has grown 3 3/4 inches and 21 lbs since last Aug. He is in full blown puberty.

I just hope things get better for him.

Oh my goodness. Poor thing. 21 lbs and almost 4 inches... Geez, louise! How is he handling the disappointment of not getting to play? That is so hard...
