Dr. Brown did xrays to check on Z's spine to be sure there were no unexpected changes. After reviewing the xrays Dr. Brown came to the conclusion that Z was either not doing his exercises properly or not doing them at all. As a witness, Z does not do them as often as he obviously should. So? Zachary is going to be just fine and the pain will go away soon. Zachary has to strengthen the muscles around the ligament that is torn in his neck so that it can prevent the vertebra the ligament once held in place from slipping. When that vertebra slips it puts pressure on Z's spinal cord which causes excruciating pain to his leg.
So there you have it! Z is going to be just fine!! With the help of some reminder pictures and such hanging on walls we hope to have Z in the habit of doing these exercises often.
We're calling this, "Dr. Brown's One Hand Salute"
