I have switched Mason's site to blogger. The old site no longer allows adding pictures, and I have a feeling I'm going to want to have some show and tell for this.
Mason's surgery is just a few days away....right now we are scheduled for the first time, which means we check in at (gasp) 6:00 am for a 7:00am surgery. That's pretty early for a teenage boy. However, if someone younger slides into the schedule Mason will get bumped to a later spot. These are things we will know Thursday afternoon, when they call us with the final schedule. You just have to be flexible. bleh.
We did get another set of eyes to look at Mason's chart, and they concurred with our surgeon on what to do, but also added a procedure. They will also "install" a kind of metal guide along both sides of his radius to hopefully help guide it's growth in a straight path and help prevent any bowing of the radius as it grows more quickly than the ulna.
So the whole operation should last 2-3 hours. He may or may not spend the night at the hospital, depending on how well they can manage his pain. We shall see.
