Today we went to the specialist to get Lincoln's cast on. He picked a light blue color, which is his favorite color. He was pretty excited about the cast and sling, but I'm sure that he will get pretty tired of it real quick. He will have another x-ray in 10 to check the progress, and hopefully get it off in 4 weeks. NO physical activity allowed during the 4 weeks... and also for 4 weeks after due to the possibility of a re fracture. It's going to be a long 4 weeks I think...
I was a little surprised that he had to get an above the elbow cast, he said that if it was just below the elbow that since Lincoln has such tiny bones in his arms, that the cast would fall off in a week. He is supposed to wear the sling all times except bedtimes, because the weight of the cast wouldn't be good to be supported by a broken bone....
Keep Lincoln and his arm in your prayers, Please and Thank You....
