Rt. Ankle Pain persists
Bradley has been in his shoes with the added heel on the right for a little over a month now. Since Saturday, he has started complaining of pain again and he is also limping again when he walks. I really thought the added heel would solve the problem, but suddenly I am not so sure. We chose this option because it was noninvasive. The other option was extensive surgery, that may risk loss of ambulation. It is so hard to know what to do as a parent. I just don't understand why the pain has returned. I find myself wondering how long he will continue walking when I watch his gait continue to change. I have anticipated this loss since his diagnosis. God has blessed him with that ability 3 years more than expected. We are thankful, but realize he could stop walking at anytime. For now, there is only one thing to do and that is to keep praying until God leads us in the next step or the next decision.
