Results

We took Zachary back to the specialist to get the results of his MRI's that were taken a week or so ago. She told us that the spot in his bone was definitely benign and that it is an infection in the bone and it does look like it is trying to heal itself. She gave us options and asked what we wanted to do, we've decided that it would be in Zachary's best interest to monitor it and keep a journal of his pain and Motrin intake for now. She thought that was a good idea and said she would like to help monitor the healing by doing another x-ray in about 4-6 weeks to make sure it is healing and not growing or not healing like it should. If it turns out that it doesn't heal as it should or it grows larger, the only other option would be to have surgery to scrap the infection out, another prayer please!

Here are his MRI photo's these two showed the infection the best.


Okay, this is a side view of Zachary's leg the photo has chopped into his leg to show the spot better. The top arrow shows where the bone is trying to heal itself and the lower arrow shows the infection in the bone.




This picture shows his leg as if they chopped it off right where the infection is. Again the left arrow shows where the bone is trying to heal and the right arrow shows the infection.
