Rodding Surgery for Karson
Donation protected
Karson was diagnosed with a rare, genetic metabolic bone disease, during my pregnancy (28 weeks), called Osteogenesis Imperfecta. Karson has Type III/IV, meaning he is moderately affected by it, if he is continously recieving proper treatment and care. At this point, he has suffered 8 to 10 fractures within 19months. 3 of them causing a little bowing. As of December 23rd
Karson has broken his right femur, for the 3rd time. At this point, I am strongly suggesting that he has his femurs rodded. This reduces fx rates, moderates the pain, and works as an internal splint, to keep the bone from being displaced, and manipulated. He is scheduled to go to Chicago, IL on the 15th of February, it was initially to be seen by the specialist there, for a another outlook on Karson's future plans for treating his OI. However, now that he has fx, I find it necessary to try to have Karson rodded in the clinic during our visit. GRU (Georgia Regents University) orthopedics do not have a surgeon who specializes in placing FD rods. FASSIER DUVAL RODS. These rods have been designed especially for children/adults that suffers from Osteogenesis Imperfecta, Osteoporosis, or some other form of Skelatal Dysplasia. These are the rods that grows with him, which prevents repeated surgeries in the future. This also decrease trauma to the bones. Therefore, I am asking you all for your love and support during this time. This account has been created to raise monry to cover the medical expenses for the surgery, as well as travel costs. I have never experienced Karson going under such an extensive, and expensive surgery. I hope you all will understand that it is to enable Karson, and Keep him as comfortable as possible doing his journey with OI.
Thank you!
