If a surgery would be easier on him, I think my friend and I would agree to go that route at this point. Unfortunately, the Orthopedist said it just wasn't an option. And given the fact that he's gotten abrasions on his toes from the casts, his risk for infection is already high as it is.

He is getting a walker with a seat. My mom is going to the medical supply store to have his prescription filled for one, but we're not sure if it will need to be ordered given his weight. When we get it, I think your suggestion of sitting and scooting on it is a good idea. Sitting on the floor isn't much of an option though, as he has a hard time standing up from the floor. We're working on his upper body strength, but it don't think it's near good enough to handle that.

And yeah, like, I'm still reeling from the fact that the nurse even suggested it. I had ACL surgery a few years ago and if someone had told me to bunny hop, I would have smacked them. :/

Thank you so much for your suggestions and blessings! They've given me some ideas to help him along and I can't tell you how much I appreciate that right now. It's been really hard dealing with the doctors and nurses and never getting a real answer or solution.
