Asher update.

The cast is off! Two casts and 8 weeks after this...and we're down to just a brace! Yup. Went in this morning. Doctor says everything is looking good...you can see the extra bone growth on the x-rays (where the bone is building new bone to try to straighten itself back out...should look identical to the other arm within the year)...and the break is barely visible. Ash still has some mobility issues with his wrist, so has the brace. He doesn't *need* it, but feels more comfortable with it and will probably still wear it to karate for a bit. The doctor didn't think it would be a problem at all (just take some readjustment to using the arm again). So, we'll just watch it over the next couple weeks.
Whew.

Glad to hear he's doing good. Jane just now has regained full mobility in the arm she broke, so it was about 9 months or so. I was concerned that she couldn't touch her shoulder and the dr. assured me that it would be fine. Well, I guess he was right. :)
Yay for Asher!!! So glad that everything looks good! I've decided we are not rushing this next one. Avery just got his "above the elbow" cast on Thursday. We will definitely do a short cast and a brace for a while after this one. Better to be safe than sorry. ;-)
