Hello everyone,
We finally have the results to Orion's tests from his injury. His knee cap dislocated somehow and when he fell, it caused the knee cap to slam into his growth plate and when the knee cap went back into place it broke off a piece of cartilage which is stuck in his knee because of this it stretched his ligaments and growth plate. They plan to do surgery on Tuesday of next week to remove the cartilage and hope that it will grow back since he is so young. He will have few physical therapy sessions to learn how to strengthen his knee and it should take about 2 months to get the knee strong again.
I would like to thank everyone for their concern. I was really impressed how quickly accommodations were set up for Orion so he could be a part of Pokemon for the weekend thanks so much for that it meant a lot to both of us. I would also like to thank everyone at world's who helped with Orion making the event fun for him.
I will post after surgery to let everybody know how it went.
