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.

I am glad he isnt in much pain, but that stinks that he has to have surgery to reset his arm!

(((hugs)))to Jacob!
