Nicholas went to CHKD yesterday for his Ortho referral. They took the splint off and looked at his arm (it was swollen some still), took some more X-Rays, and decided to cast him for 2 weeks. After the 2 weeks, they'll look at him again and go from there. Initial estimate is 6-8 weeks. Not looking good for his football season, but we'll wait and take one appointment at a time. Definitely don't want to rush him, but he'll be heartbroken if his season is done. We haven't really talked about that being a possibility, he's just thinking on the chance of being back to some practice at 4 weeks the Dr. mentioned. Time will tell.
The kids started back to school on Tuesday. Nicholas's 1st day wasn't so good....in his sling and having to write with his left hand is not his favorite! Emma had a volleyball game Tuesday (w) and tonight (L) already. She's on the Varsity team this year. I guess the school they played tonight was a 1A school, but they played them really tough.
Loki is slowly getting accustomed to her new house. She's starting to recognize her name and gets excited when everyone gets home. If we can get her to sleep thru the night and not pee on the floor we'll be good!
The important thing obviously is a healthy full recovery as there can be more football at another time but here's hoping the healing goes quickly and he is able to get some games in before the season is over.
ReplyDeleteGramps sure loves the Kenney Krewe and is praying for a quick and full recovery!!
