Ok, Well apparently, from some of the comments made (which just crack me up Cory, you're hilarious) some think Joshua is still possibly in the hospital....
NOPE!!! Of course we came home, and he bounced back quicker then anyone was expecting. A miracle boy, nothing less. He was on his anitbiotics for six weeks (or was it four) after being released. Glad that's done.
He had a physical therapy appointment, but the PT was so encouraged by how Joshua was moving, he didn't think he needed any. He was "impressed" by the MRI results, all the doctors had said they had never seen anything like it and are amazed how he's doing. Anyway, Joshua just has to make sure he always has a very strong stomach (sports, yoga, pilates, gymnastics - no comments about how boys can't do gym!) to keep his stomach strong to alleviate the possibility of back pain.
He just had a follow-up appointment two weeks ago for his back at Children's Hospital, and the x-rays show his vertabrae are healing and the disc isn't as flat as it once was, so it's also healing (which wasn't expected). So! He's healing excellently.
The last couple weeks, I was worried his infection was back because he's been showing some of the same signs as he was before, but I took him to the doctor and requested a blood test, and all the blood work came back perfect! So, I guess he's just having back pain, which is pretty much expected. He also, just got over the stomach flu...I'm telling you this boy just can't catch a break! It seems he's always got something. After a few trips to the ER (one for stiches, the other for high fever) right after getting out ot the hospital...Overall though, he's doing fantastic!
