David went back to the orthopedic surgeon on Monday for his follow up. He was SO nervous about his appointment! They took off his stinky soft cast for a follow up x-ray and his finger had found it's way back to where it should be. YAY!!! I thought he was going to cry right then he was so happy!
But, it is still broken and is still a pretty serious break. The doctor put him in a real cast for the next two weeks (minimum). He was upset since that means he is definitely out for the rest of the football season and the rest of fall ball season.
David's club ball team is LV Rebels, their colors are red and black. So he chose a red cast! Way to have team spirit, mascot!! Besides, it's easier to have people sign a red cast than a black one.
We go back in two weeks to do some more x-rays and re-evaluate. The doctor said worst case he gets to be in the cast for a few more weeks, but if it keeps healing the way it has this last week then he will be able to keep the cast off and be able to start transitioning into normal life using a brace for sports! That made David's day!
