Wheelchair

For the past year, Kelli has been complaining of pain in her legs.  When asked, she usually says the pain is in her right leg (the longer one) near the knee.  However, sometimes she says both legs hurt.  In December we took her to the Bone and Joint Institute in Hershey, and the doctor said that the x-rays seem to show avascular necrosis in her right hip.  (death of the bone cells due to a lack of blood flow)  She said this could cause pain in the upper part of the leg from the hip to the knee.  Her recommendation was to limit Kelli's activity and to keep an eye on this condition for awhile.

She is beginning to out grow her stroller, so we began a search for a wheelchair.  Today, my aunt and uncle brought one out for her.   She loved riding around the house in it and is planning to use it tomorrow when we take a walk through the neighborhood.
