She also said if he wasn't better in two weeks to see an orthopedic . Well last Monday was two weeks and he was still complaining . I called the pediatricians office so they could get the referral started .
The orthopedic doctor (orthocarolina) got him right in on Thursday .. He talked to Colton looked at his X-ray from two weeks ago and said let's get a new X-ray
I asked what he saw because he kept zooming in on the first X-ray around his elbow . He said possibly a fracture and if so this new X-ray will confirm ..
The new X-ray showed new bone growing where the fracture is .. He zoomed in and showed me . I thought this appointment was very informative ..
He got right to the point and showed me everything .. Since the fracture is repairing on it's own there is no need for a cast .. But he can't play in gym, ride his new dirt bike , play at the park or recess for two weeks ..
He is returning Thursday 19th to do one more X-ray and if all is good he can return to normal activity ..
Colton was so upset about recess at school so I spoke with his teacher and she has some good ideas to keep him from getting bored ..
Colton also said he wanted to play baseball this spring and registration ends February 20th . I asked the doctor what he thought and he said sign him up !!
Colton can't Wait to play :). He is so tough !! He is also excited to get a new bat and glove I already bought his cleats at Academy...
