Well we went to the Ortho dr yesterday and he said Ryan's arm had a slipper break. He said it was pretty bad and that he was going to try set it and cast it. He also has me coming back every week to check that the bone is mending on its own. He didn't seem really convinced that it would and said next tuesday when he sees Ryan he will determine whether surgery will be needed. He had to adjust the setting of the bone while he casted and I just felt soooo badly for Ryan. He has been such a trooper through this all. Right now he is in a long cast which can't get wet. Makes showers lots of fun. While he was getting his xray in the cast I spoke with the dr about the surgery IF it would happen. He said that a pin would not be good for this location and he would more than likely need a plate that would be screwed in. If this happens he would need to go back in a year from now to have that removed since he is still growing. So please say a prayer that his body will do its job and mend that bone. After 3 weeks if all goes well we can put a waterproof short cast on, which he will wear at least 5 more weeks.
