Happy Birthday to me.....


Jacob had his follow up with Ortho today. Drive all the way there...wait and wait to get seen. Get in the room only to be told there's nothing they can do today. His bone is at a 45 degree angle after being set on Wednesday. He'll be going into surgery under full sedation on Thursday to take the cast off, re-set it, and put a new cast on. The greatest degree of angle they can accept is 20, so his is way off. He'll be going to school Monday-Wednesday, they dont think he can do more damage so we figured let him go. He doesnt seem to be in alot of pain, tylenol and low dose Lortab seems to be helping. Unfortunatly we didnt know a side effect of Lortab was constipation, and forgot his glycolax yesterday in all the excitement. So he was very very backed up tonight. He's almost cleaned out now though thank God.

The way to spend a Wednesday...

Jacob fell at school today and broke his right arm. They had to set it and cast it. Then cut the cast to allow for swelling, and ace bandage it so he cant attempt to get it off. Hes on pain killers, and has a follow up apt on Friday. Poor boy is having a very rough day. Please keep him in your Prayers along with some really good quick healing thoughts.
