01/06/2011- Our appointment with the orthopedic doctor didn't go as well as expected. Up until this point every doctor we spoke with was very concerned. We walked into the office this day unsure as to what was gonna happen. We always prepare for the worse and pray for the best!
Throughout the appointment I had alot of questions and most of them wasn't answered. This Orthopedic doctor wasn't concerned with the pain or the long term affects of this diesease. The final determination was that we were going to "wait and watch" for three months and return for x-rays. Two weeks went by and Cayden was in terrible pain, so we returned to speak with him. He basically said that Cayden was using the pain to get out of doing things and that I was over reacting. I was not happy with what he had to say......upset and annoyed I decided to seek a second opinion.
I immediately contacted his primary care physician and requested another referral for the second opinion. After several days of waiting I finally got a call that the new appointment with Children's OU would be on April 20th 2010......That was the soonest they could get Cayden in.
A Month went by and several different occasions Cayden would wake up in severe pain or couldn't walk. When I had enough I contacted the Orthopedic department at OU again and insisted that Cayden get in sooner....finally a sigh of relief Cayden's new appointment got moved to March 29,2010.
