Deven Dr appt today

Deven had a follow up appointment today, to check on the progress of his healing bone.  The uploaded photo in the album shows how much progress his body has made in just two weeks.  He still can't go to the park, or jump on his bed and stuff like that, so that he doesn't re-break it, but he doesn't have to wear the sling all the time.  The DR was happy to see his progress.  He said that young people heal so fast.  The photo shows it's true!

Update on Winter weather

Well, it actually did snow lastnight!  It wasn't heavy, maybe 1/2 inch on the ground, but it sure was pretty to wake up to!  Yeaaaaa!

Winter

Well, we had our first snow flurries today.  Nothing stuck on the ground, though.  The nights are getting down to the low 30's to high 20's, so if rain does come, then it will be snow.  I can't wait!

Update on Mr. Atlas...

Today was Deven's followup appointment to our emergency room visit last Friday.  The DR gave him a sling to use, instead of the shoulder/posture support.  He said to try and keep him calm... lol... again, like I can hold back the ocean!  Other than that, give him motrin for pain, wear the sling for at least the next week, as much as possible and definately when he is playing, and come back in a couple of weeks to take another x-ray, to check the healing process and make sure it is doing what it should.  Then, one more x-ray appointment after that several weeks later to check again.  That's it. 

Deven fractured collar bone

Here is the x-ray of Deven's broken bone.

So you think you are Atlas....

Yes, that must have been what Deven was thinking when he decided to open up the treadmill by himself yesterday afternoon. 

 

I was in the livingroom spinning and Deven was in his room playing, or so I thought, when he let out his blood curdling cry.  We were both pretty scared, and he seemed to be alright, with the exception of his shoulder really hurting him.  So, we decided to take him to the emergency room as a precaution.  For the first time ever (in the history of all my kids) we got seen right away in an emergency room.  A quick examination by the DR.  sent us down to X-ray, and revealed a hairling fracture of his collar bone.  The DR says he will heal just fine, as long as we can get him to take it easy, (which is like telling us to stop the tide from ebbing and flowing) and he has to wear a shoulder/posture supporting brace until he is seen on Tuesday by an Orthopedist.  The DR wasn't too worried about Deven's injury, but made us the appt. witht he specialist just to be sure (again, a miracle for the military medical system as the appt is for Tues.)  So, we will keep you posted as to what the DR says at his appointment.

 

As for Deven this morning:  No change here, except he is complaining about the shoulder supporter.  Toys are all over the place, and he is as if nothing even happened.   Ok, that's it from here.

Don't like halloween.avi

Here is a quick look on how Deven feels about the whole halloween thing. We only made it to one door before he ran back upstairs crying. He does not like Trick-or-Treating!
