I'm so happy your daughter is doing well! I have a son who is 17 and broke his right tibia, compound fracture. This happened in the fall of 2007 during football. He has had 4 surgeries and needs one more. Seeing your child in pain is one of the most horrible things a parent can go through. I wish you and your daughter all the best of health and luck!

I was scheduled for the ketamine infusions to be done in September. I cancelled. From all I have heard and read, I am not really a candidate. I think I was just being put in for experimental purposes. I know there are MANY who need this done. I am very confident in the procedure but I am not in so much pain that I feel I want to do the proceedure. I have heard great things, and not so great things. I am the mother of 4 and can't take the chances of having my "brain scrambled", which is what I was told by a health care professional. I know this is a necessary procedure for many, but, I think it needs to be carefully thought out.

I am so happy that your daughter, being so young is feeling so well. It is horrible to see our children in pain! My son spent months in a hospital bed in our home unable to walk! I understand the agony and I am so happy for you that she is doing well. I will keep you in my prayers! I have heard of your doctor and understand he is very good! Best wishes and enjoy the rest of the summer before school starts! Linda
