Second opinion

On Tuesday Seth and I took Doran to Primary Childrens to get a second opinion on his arm. The doctor was so awesome! He told us his cast was put on poorly (you can see that quite clearly!) which caused the bones to settle. He said we could operate and it would heal faster, but he recommended waiting and letting it straighten out on its own. He said it will take a little over a year, but since he is still so young the bone is still growing rapidly and will straighten out. Obviously it is a better choice to just wait and let it heal on its own! He also recommended after he gets the cast off to be put in a splint for 4 weeks because his arm will be weak and easy to re-fracture. He took a lot of time to explain to us that his arm will slowly, but surely get better. He showed us another patient's (who was Doran's same age at the time of his break and had the same breaks) x-rays over the course of a year. Every x-ray it got a little straighter. We feel much better now and have decided to go to him for the duration of Doran's treatment. Both the boys really liked him too!
