The Orthopedic Surgeons visit

I was able to get Jerad into the orthopedic surgeon this morning in Dickinson. Nothing like calling in and them giving me 1 1/2 to drive over there. We made it just in time. Anyway the doctor decided to wait and see. So he left Jerads arm in the splint half wrap thing it is currently in till next Wednesday. Than he will see if the bone has aligned itself back into position, or if he needs to go in and set it. If he sets it he will also put in rods, a plate and some pins at that time. If it is in position, he will wait another three weeks to see if the bone begins to grow and heal itself, if not he will go in and do surgery than with the pins, plate and rods. The doctor said that where it broke is difficult to heal and that is his worry now. But like he said it isn't going to matter if we wait the 4 weeks to see if it does it on its own. He is probably out of sports and everything for about a year.

Jerad is really bummed because he was really looking forward to drivers ed this year. Now he can't take driver's ed till next year when they offer it again. What a bummer. Good news no school this week and only 1/2 days next week if he feels up to it.

Megan is going into tennis divisionals this week. I am really hoping she makes it to state this year. So Thursday and Friday, we are off to divisionals.
