Update: Mystery solved

I just got this email to pass along from Stephanie.


Hello everyone! Thank you so much for your emails! I'm sorry if I don't get back to all of you, butplease know how much we are grateful for each on ofyou! Travis had a hiccup this week. We found out thereason he has had so much pain in his right leg isbecause, he has a condition called heterotopicossification or H.O. It is when there is abnormalbone growth, and Travis' is growing in his right hipand down his leg. The bone is growing into hismuscle, and it is so painful. The dr.s think it'scaused by the body overcompensating for trying to healhis pelvis and other fractures. There is reallynothing that could have been done to prevent it. Travis has so much extra bone, that hopefully onMonday, the docs will go in and shave it out. Ofcourse there are always risks with surgery, but it isthe best option for him right now. He can't even movehis right leg it has been so painful, so this shouldalleviate a lot of pain. After he recovers, PT and OTare going to go right back and make him move as muchas possible, so he can get out of bed! So, that isthe prelminary reports that we have, and hopefullyMonday will be the day of freedom! Thank you again somuch for all your support! We really reallyappreciate you all! Happy Mothers Day!!!!Love, Steph
