Ollie Update

Well, we went to see Dr. Gray, the orthopedic doctor, this morning. He was very nice and spent a lot of time with us, showed us the x-rays again and even put the cast on himself since Ollie was being such a cooperative patient. He said its a pretty clean break and even though its near the growth plate there is less than a 1% chance of him having any growth problems from this. He is in a long leg cast and will keep it on for a month. We have to keep him off of it through this weekend, but after that he can walk on it if he wants to. They will do repeat x-rays after the cast comes off to check the healing and then probably do some more in 6 months to a year to make sure there are not any problems. Ollie did GREAT!! He just laid still on the exam table and didn't make a peep or a wiggle while they removed the splint, examined his leg and put the cast on. He's definitely our tough guy! We are going to try taking him to school on Wednesday. When we dropped Sam off on Monday, he came in with us. He cried when we left cause he wanted to stay with his friends and teachers. I guess that's a good thing??
