So thankful Xbox is really Normally Abnormal!

Xbox was injured in a game a few weeks ago. I took him to see an orthopedic doc to check out his injuries. He had separated his growth plate at the top of his pelvic area known as Iliac Crest. Very painful injury and will take months to heal. And you know...technology opens the way to see other things. 2 - his ball and socket joint didn't line up correctly but will hopefully straighten out when he's finished growing. Yelp ... his growth plates are still open so he has some more growing to do. He's already 6'2. Then the doc tells me.... "and we have an area down lower that seems typically benign but it's on the bone so we need really need to make sure it's not a weak spot...we just dont want to miss anything". Me always being a worry wart over everything....my wheels immediately go into a full, racing spinning mode. I agreed that it needed to be checked further and let them order a CT scan. Then we went to check out......and make an appointment with a bone specialist. I took her first appointment which was to wait 2 weeks for the results. I tried not to over process things..... i had specifically asked his doc 3 times.. benign? benign? benign? he always said yes....that is what the radiologist is considering it. So today...finally... was the day to go to the Orthopedic surgeon that is considered the bone specialist with little man. Since I took the new doctors first available appointment....we were scheduled in the Cancer Center....which unnerved the man that doesnt ever get excited...Big Daddy. Xbox didnt even seem to notice. Wormie has seen doctors in that area...its the newest clinic area and where all the best radiology machines are...but it's just scary.

The new Doc comes in.....tells us quickly that when he is a normal young man.....and apparently when he was injured at the iliac crest...also caused his hamstring to whip and shear off a small part of his bone....leaving that area dark. Shew law! What a relief. I guess she could tell i was about to bounce off the wall...not to mention the hives.

He cant lift weights for a while......but he can stretch. He is so tight from growing so fast...they think this is causing most of his issues. So yoga might be in store for him..... :)

We are beyond Thankful that he is healthy. Thank you God!

I am attaching a pix....and i tried to white out and gray out areas he didnt want displayed....so I could resist a little art on the pix....afterall....It's the least he owed me for the worry. :)

I love you Xbox!
