We just had our 4 week check up with Dr. Klatt!! Yes, it has already been 4 weeks. Dr. Klatt showed us some x-rays and we could actually see the bone growing back together. He told us that we can get rid of the wheel chair all together in about 1-2 weeks, but for now he needs to use it at school. At home he gets to use his walker and sleep without his brace on. He is working on putting weight on it and bending it. The bending is REALLY hard because of the pins that go in through the muscle on the side of his knee. I no longer have to help him go potty at school and feel like i am forgetting something when 11:30AM rolls around. Kelton has another check up on Nov 29th , at which time he has to be walking on his own with NO brace and be able to bend his knee to 90 degrees. If we have accomplished the above things by the next visit we will schedule a time to get the screws taken out. Wish us luck!
