Avascular Necrosis

So as many of you know Louie has for at least the last 8 months or so been suffering with what we first thought was arthritis. He went the doctors and they didn't find anything wrong...x-ray after x-ray.Then last month I went to a chiropractor because I was in severe pain and he helped me so much that I thought maybe he could help Louie. So he took an x-ray with Louie standing up and found that Louie had a broken hip. He also saw a dark spot and was concerned and said that we better get into a doctor soon. So we went back to the doctor and after an MRI and tests later...the good news was it wasn't cancer but a "disease" called Avascular Necrosis. He needed to have a hip replacement on his left hip and will need on again on his right. The left one is the worse one. The right isn't as bad.
On November 9th he had a hip replacement and is going to be out of work for the next few weeks to a month. So, I want to give a shout out to Grandma Maddie and Aunt Hazel now. They have been helping us in more ways then we can count and it means so much to us. We appreciate their sacrifices for our family. Thank you also to all of you that have called, brought in dinners, taken our kids places or practices or done anything to help us. We are grateful. We truly appreciate all the support. Louie is getting stronger everyday. His pain before the surgery was like a stabbing pain and now he is just getting his muscles back to normal. He is doing all he can to get himself well. So, there's the update. I wish I knew how to link info about Avascular Necrosis on here, but anyway go and google it. It is quite a interesting thing.
