Well we went to the Ortho Doc today and at first he said that it wasn't too bad but we were gonna put on a cast for 2 weeks to protect the joint and prevent further damage. The Ortho doc was great and Dylan was pretty excited to get a cast. We kept teasing him that he was going to get a Hot Pink cast....he refused. I am sure that you all can guess what color he did chose...of course GREEN! As we made the follow up for 2 weeks to get the cast off and new pictures of the elbow...the doc came out and told us that they reviewed the x-rays and determined that the break was worse than they thought...they now think that it involves a bit of the growth plate. We will have the cast on for 6 weeks and then go from there. We go back next week to have it looked at again. So Dylan is trying to learn to write with a long arm cast on and he is having so much fun hitting the cast on EVERYTHING! Brent got his first set of spacers today. Next week they will take those out and put on bands and then put another set of spacers on for another week for the other bands around the back teeth. I am really suprised that he is able to eat so well...well maybe I am not so surprised...HA HA. OK...enough for today. Hope all of you are well!
