The nerve test showed no nerve activity below the knee.(not a loss of feeling but a loss of ability to move it, the nerve did not activate the muscles to move when the brain told them to. The test was grueling b/c they stuck probes in and then would stimulate the nerve and test muscle reaction via the probes) Definite nerve damage. Without an injury to explain it though, we are left with a mystery.
Poor guy! Nothing like being an MD pin cushion!
You continue to AMAZE me with your strength and grace, WhatNow! I don't know HOW you do it. So much $@*! to deal with at one time!
They say that God never gives your more than you can handle. You are one STRONG woman, girl! The question is, if you were weaker, would you get to deal with less?

DS's emotional state and irritability is another story!!!
So he was outgrowing new clothes before you could get them home and get the price tags off? OMG! Poor guy!
As for his emotional state...well that's perfectly understandable! Puberty. Medical issues. Dad leaving. All challenges in and of themselves, but all together at the same time?!! Like being run over by a Mac truck...2 or 3 times!
