The kids were involved in a 4 wheeler accident and we were EXTREMELY lucky!! Short story--kids were on it, going too fast, Hunter flipped it and it landed on top of them. Hunter stuck his arm out trying to keep it off Hayley and broke his growth plate while doing so. Lots of bumps, brusies, and one broken growth plate, here we are 6 weeks later!
Hunter's surgery was May 25 and the specialist was lucky enough to be able to pull his arm back into position and line up the growth plate and place 2 pins to secure it. It was a tricky break where it was located, so we were please with this!
Today was our 6 week follow up and the day that we have been counting down for--pins outs and hopefully released to start running again! He's been a real trooper and have has a crappy summer--no swimming, lakes, rivers, running, biking--nothing! ( I am starting to think that we have been cursed with broken bones in the summer---last year it was my ankle!)
Yes, I took pictures of the each step!
Hunter was very queasy at this point--he nor Brian do pain, stressful situation or Dr offices--we had to stop and let him lay down with cold towels--he was white as a ghost.
Xrays looked good and showed complete healing--they were trying to show me where the intial break was I couldn't see it! I just nodded and shook my head like I did everytime they said something--they spoke very broken English but were awesome doctors.
2 Pins are out and we are released! Hunter can resume activity as he feels like it! Right now hes doing much better, he was scared and stiff at first but he has started moving it like a champ! We have already been asked when he can go for a run--told him after dinner
