Jack had his new cast put on yesterday and is feeling much better today. We went in yesterday morning to the CT Surgery Center to have his arm set and cast. The doctor felt it was best to have him put to sleep for this as he may have had to go in and put a plate in to hold his bone in place, luckily we didn't have to go that route. While Jack was asleep the doctor ended up breaking his bone the rest of the way through and was able to line it up perfectly. He was casted and good to go in about 45 min. Last night he was in a little bit of pain but is doing much better today.
Here is the new red cast he will have for about 3 weeks, then he will go down to a shorter one for another 2-3 weeks. He had fun with the masks, gloves, and hats the nurses at the surgery center gave him.
3 tired boys, that was a long day!
The happy camper this morning with a few
signatures on his cast. He will be more than ready (as will I ) to go back to school on Monday!!
