Follow Up

Well picture is actually from the ER.  But we did have a follow up with the Orthopedic Doctor yesterday and he says no sports for 6 weeks.  This means BUMMER!  This means no rafting trip with class, no more baseball, no more . . . everything.  This means many of the things that Hawk enjoys is now off the table for 6 weeks, including Hockey Camp.  He's handling this all rather well considering.  He has been very strong and brave, more than I would have been at his age, in fact maybe more than I would be at my current age too. His strong and humor filled character is persevering for sure. 

Not much other than the sling can be done. The break does not require surgery as it hasn't affected any nerves, other than when it first happened, and it's not poking thru skin.  You can see where it's broken just by looking at him and in time as the bone grows at the point of the break there will be a large bump, but this will get smaller and the bone will straighten as his body continues to grow bigger.
