Update on Ramey's arm- OT

We took Ramey to the dr. today to have his cast put on. The dr. took more X-rays and found that the bone has begun healing improperly. Ramey's scheduled for surgery early in the morning to have the arm rebroken and he'll be put to sleep for it. No one is really happy with this, but we'll deal with it. The poor little guy never cried over his arm when he broke it, or since, but the dr. telling him he needed to have it broken again did him in.

Hugs,

Mel

Rather than start a new thread, I'm gonna add this here :-)

We're home, he's doing great, and it went well. The nurses were exceptional- I have NEVER been so impressed. The dr. was great, got him in an HOUR early, and he was very well taken care of. He was quite humorous after the procedure- he was fascinated by the man standing next to his dad that looked just like him! (seeing double is grand for the first time).

His cast is green, and I will post a pic when I can. Hugs to all, and THANK YOU for the positive thoughts and prayers.

Hugs,

Mel

i am so glad that everything happened so smoothly and trauma free. i haven't had a broken bone but all the kids that did growing up had more fun with thier casts then those of us who never had one.

so glad he is on the road to healing

We just opened it, and he LOVED it. He's always so tickled to get email. :-)

I am glad things went smoothly, sucks to feel so helpless when your kids are hurt. Hope you all have a great weekend Mel!
