My son has been complaining about his hip for a little while and it was hurting him to run. My wife took him to doctor tuesday afternoon. They sent him for xrays and when they got home, the doctor calls and says that he will see a specialist wed. morning. I get a call at work, he's on his way to St, Johns in Springfield to have emergency surgury on his hips. there is a problem with his legs and how they fit in the hip socket. just got him home ,thursday night. He's sore, but will be OK, maybe. It will take a while to find out if it will heal right. No football and basketball for at least this year. it's been a long couple days for the little guy, but he's getting a lot of attention. It is amazing how fast things can change. Kiss your kids twice tonight. I know I will.
