Update on third injection/Lance's leg brace

After the injection on Friday night Lance had the worst headache of his life. Lance moaned and groaned for a couple of hours until the doctor gave him medicine to sleep. I was worried until I saw that Lance was finally sleeping like a baby. It has been a few days and Lance is now feeling better with a slight headache once in a while. His next injection will be Wednesday and the doctor has promised to give him medicine right after the procedure so that he will be asleep for those first three hours. Now for the good news, he had an AFO half brace made and it was a success. The brace was excellent quality, and walked better than we expected. He still has a slight hipper extension but he felt more comfortable this time than when he walked with it two years ago. They took the brace back for some adjustments and will return it tomorrow so that Lance can start practicing his walking. The third injection will be Wednesday and hopefully the headaches will be better. We will keep you updated with Lance's progress.
