Detailed story to come, but for now, we are in the hospital with Brendan (for the past 2 days). He is currently getting an MRI under heavy sedation. The MRI is to confirm (again) and see more closely the damage to his hip. He has been diagnosed with Perthes Disease.
I will fill y'all in later. For now, we are hanging in there and actually Brendan is in good spirits and his leg is feeling better. He is still hardly able to walk, but he moves around to play and is happy, hungry and ready to go home. We should be discharged tonight.
Thanks for praying for him. His recovery and healing may be long term. Pray for a good plan and total recovery in his range of motion in his hip socket.
Apparently all that knee pain was actually caused from this hip problem.
More to come...sorry if this is the first you are hearing about it!

We're thinking of you and your family Kaylee! Tell Brendan that Forrest and Amy say HI (he'll be more excited about the Forrest part than the Amy, but that's cool :) )
Praying hard sweetheart....for all of you but mostly for Brendan....and the doctors that they might be able to discern definitively the diagnosis and the treatment....I'm already thinking the doctors need to perscribe therapy all summer at the lake...swimming and boating and biking and jumping on the trampoline....and french toast every morning with nana...love you all so much
Oh, Kaylee! This is the first I've heard. Will be praying for all of you! Glad you have a diagnosis so you know where to focus your efforts.
Prayers coming your way for your little man and your family.
Bernie- Hurry up and get better so we can play next time I get to see you.
Love, Bella
Oh goodness, I will be praying hard for you guys. I sincerely pray that the doctors can clearly see what's going on and come up with a plan. Much love!
I am praying for all of you, I know he will recover, he has way too much fishing left to do.

Oh my, Kaylee! Special thoughts and prayers for all of you, especially Brendan and the team of doctors and nurses that are caring for him!
