It was a valuable lesson and reinforced how abundantly we had been blessed, having Patrick Henry in our lives. Maybe we were guilty of taking the good things he brought with him too much for granted, I thought. If so, you’d better believe we’d never do that again. He had become the center of our universe, and when that was taken away, a black hole had opened up. Now the sunshine was back, and we thanked God for everything associated with our son—every doctor’s visit, every brace, every physical-therapy session, every surgery.
My parents also sought out orthopedic surgeons to see what could be done, if anything, to correct my arms, legs, and hips. As with my eyes, it was obvious I had trouble with my arms and legs, but the exact problem wasn’t clear. In my legs, the femurs (thighbones) are much shorter than they should be, which is why the physicians initially thought my condition might be dwarfism. But they soon discovered it was more complicated—my thighbones didn’t fit into the balland-socket joints of my hips. My femurs were instead being held in place by the tissues surrounding them, rather than by their joints, which explains why my legs aren’t stable and don’t move well.
It always was. Finally, the time was near, and we started for the hospital. I wasn’t like those husbands who panic and run out the front door with a suitcase, driving off and forgetting their wives. I was calm, if not a little distracted. Patricia likes to remind me of a little scene that points out pretty accurately how selfabsorbed I was. And she’s right. There we were, about to have a baby, but what was foremost on my mind? Sports. I like listening to sports talk radio, and since it was March, I was tuned in to anything that had to do with the NCAA basketball tournament.
