Hello ladies and gents.
Just got home from the doc with Jon.
His CT scan revealed that he has no right sinus. That's why he gets all of the infections. There is no where for the yucky stuff to drain.
Anywho...that's not the bad news.
Jon has been complaining for several days about his feet. Most of you know he has muscular and orthopedic issues, for which he wears braces. He has outgrown his latest set of braces...and we're waiting to go back to the ortho in a few weeks.
Well, just to be safe, I had the ped take a look at his feet. He's been in an ace bandage type thing to give his ankle more support. Well, she unwrapped his ankle and it was really swolen. She took x-rays...and we found 2 things.
1. He has a small fracture on his right malleolus...which we can do nothing about. Just put him in a brace.
2. And...both tendons...on each ankle that keep the malleolus (ankle bone) in place have slipped and are now UNDER the bone. Not doing their jobs. So, there is nothing keeping his ankle up, basically, for lack of a better explanation.
He's going to need surgury. They sent the films up to his ped ortho and they want me to call first thing in the morning. Doc just called an hour ago and said surgury it is.
Send good thoughts.
