As some of you know my son Dj has had some health issues lately that are ongoing. Besides having Down's Sydrome he is now having bone deformity issues in his left hip. Dj started limping about 3 months ago and we thought it was related to his left knee that was already diagnosed with problems. About a month ago DJ fell and would not walk. X-rays showed the top of his femur bone has slid off and was causing his leg to dislocate with every step. Dj had surgery a month ago and now has 2 screws in his left hip to prevent the top of the bone from sliding off any further and to prevent any more damage. Dr also put a screw in his right hip to prevent that side doing the same thing. After surgery he was put in a body cast to prevent the leg from moving and creating more damage. DJ will have another surgery in 2 months after his growth plate heals in the top of his femur bone. Surgery will include cutting his femur bone in half and rotating the bone so his leg will be straight again and shaving off the top of the bone that has fallen off.
It's been extremely hard for this little boy not being able to get around like he is used to. DJ is in a wheelchair and a body cast until the next surgery. After surgery in 2 months he will be in a full body cast that prevents any movement at all and will be hospitalized for quite some time.
During this time we have had to rent a wheelchair, hospital beds, diapers, wipes, new clothes to go around his cast, portable potty, hospital stays, and other items to care for him along with co-pays and deductibles. Your help and contributions woud be greatly appreciated to help us get through this tough time.
