Latest on Rebekah and Evan
We'll start with Evan:
He's doing really well. Active, energy is at least at normal level, happy, etc. Now to Rebekah: We had her follow up visit with the ortho today and they did a couple of xrays. According to those, she actually had 2 breaks in her forearm, where in the original xrays, we only saw one. AND, it turns out that she has done more damage than actually healing. What started as a 9 degree break in her arm is now almost an 18 degree break. She has been scheduled for surgery on Friday morning to do a fracture reduction with the possible placement of pins to hold it in place. They will place her in a rigid splint for at least 6 weeks with a post op visit 2 weeks after her surgery. With any luck, the pins will hold everything in place and it will heal as it should. She has been put on strict restriction for those 6 weeks, which means no PE, no recess, and constant use of the sling except for when she is sleeping. Now I have to locate shirts that are loose enough to be able to pull on without bumping the pins or splint {sigh}. On the way home from the doc, she admitted that when it started tingling, she actually moved her wrist - WHILE it was in the cast!! Apparently they didn't put the cast on snug enough.....they wrapped it around the swelling, not taking into consideration the fact that it would be loose once the swelling went down. SO....we start all over again and hopefully this time, she will follow doctor's orders. |
