I really didn't envision this blog would still be in use in 2012.
Mason continues to go to occupational therapy twice a week. The "angle of straightness" (highly technical term there) for his arm has gone from 76 degrees to 38 degrees in the month or so since he started, with "normal" being around 0 degrees, and "functional" (by whose standards?) less than 30 degrees. So he is definitely headed in the right direction for that particular issue.
The supination is another issue that hasn't really been delved into yet, but improving it was one of the goals of this surgery. So far his supination ability is zilch. Not sure what the "normal" numbers would be, or even what his number is now, but he cannot turn his palm up. Yet.
His next visit with the surgeon is January 18.
