Remember the last clip from the post below....The one clip to the quick care telling us Tye's leg was just a bad bruise. So much for quick care...I knew it was more! A mother's intuition is always right!!!!! After he spent 5 days crawling around I made an appt. with a specialist, and thank heaven I did. Tye broke his leg/ankle. His break is right on the growth plate between his leg and ankle. This past week we've had more x-rays, an MRI and visits with two specialists. Every few weeks we go in for more x-rays to see if growth will resume, if not there is a big decision to make. In order to not have two legs different sizes we can take the growth plate out of the other leg, or do some type of bones cell diffusion to promote growth. In either case for the next 3 months he will be in a cast, and then months of therapy. Please pray for us, I can't imagine this boy living with the limitations this could cause him.
I tired to have him smile, it didn't work.
Life takes unexpected turns. He had to give up his spot on his traveling Basketball team, he's no longer QB on his Spring Football league. The skiing trip we had planned in two weeks has been cancelled, and the doctors gave little hope for Spring Baseball. My calendar has been completely erased and I have a very broken hearted son!

I am soo sorry Kim! I hope & pray that you guys will make the right decision and that everything will heal perfectly! I can't imagine having to take all that away from a little boy :(
Ohhh Crap. I am so sorry. As a mother I know how hard it to watch our kids go through trials. I am willing to bet that this will be a great experience that will build Tye's testimony and character for the rest of his life. Do you remember Nate's story about being run over by a Haybail trailer when he was in 7th grade? He was told if he ever walked again, it would be with a cane. By the way, LOVE Kris Allen!
Kim I am soooo sorry - my heart seriously breaks for him. My Niece that was with my Brother when he had his accident is having the same problem - her leg was broken in her growth plate. We have the same worries that you have for Ty... it's even harder when they really can't understand why it is happening... you're in our thoughts and prayers. Erin
Poor Tye!! We are hoping that everything goes well - and that he mends quickly!!
I can't even imagine this happening to this oh so active boy with so many talents he had to chose from. My thoughts and prayers go out to you all and hope it all turns out OK.
Poor Tye. I can only imagine... He's in our prayers constantly.
WOW Kim I'm so sorry to hear that about your little guy. My oldest had 4 broken arms before he hit 12 years old and I remember the limitations that he had dealing with all the casts. I'll keep him in my prayers!
What in the world??? Poor Kid- WE LOVE you Tye! Tell your Dad to stop beating you! :)
