Broke

Update:

Miles left school at midday yesterday.  His right (rotationplasty) leg felt suddenly sore while walking down the hall with his crutches. He made the correct diagnosis right away: fractured at the surgical site--even a little floppy. Thankfully, he's had minimal discomfort.  Dr. Thut and Webb saw him right away.  His x-ray shows the metal plate holding the bones together broke in half.
His leg was splinted and it's comfortable for him.  Miles is getting around primarily by wheelchair, with some crutch-assisted soft steps.

We are considering next steps for his right leg and everything else. Lots of discussions. Will update soon.
