Ortho appt

Went to ortho appt at 7:30 am in Grand Rapids. Yes I said AM!!!! Holy cow that was early for us Koeman's. Steve had to remind me at 6:15 am my alarm was still going off :) Ooops. Brookie and I got ready in 15 minutes, we are quick, and we looked good :) (maybe not :) Ok, to my point of this post.......appt went great. MD said the radius is fractured, ulna looks good. So the ulna will act as an internal splint which is why she isn't in alot of pain. He said his "normal" protocol would be to cast it and bring patient back in 3-4 weeks then re xray. BUT, for health sake we will keep the splint on (because we like to check her skin) and no need to come back. He said "I have a feeling you'd be really mad if she got sick because she had to come here." We do what we gotta do, but we appreciate people thinking this all through. So, splint for 3 more weeks and then good to go. He said her bones look very "thin and brittle." But again he said, let her grow and get off some of these meds and you'll never know this was a problem. So again, I'm happy with that. We had a talk with Brooke and told her she's going to have to get quicker to keep up with the Koeman kids or she'll get trampled. That's all she cares about now is that she has a built in defense mechanism in this splint. OUCH!!!
Back to clinic Monday. I won't hold my breath on lab results, but they will be sending more out. Grow immune system grow!!!!
