Isaiah had a little accident wiggling out of Lou's arms 2 nights before Christmas and immediately I could tell something was not right... We got some x-rays at an immediate care imaging center right by our house that night... all looked good...
But... this is how he spent the entire next day... WOULD NOT MOVE OFF THE COUCH... It was as if he moved at all his arm hurt... So he just plain didn't move... didn't really want to eat and fussed a lot... poor sweet little guy...
We actually had a call to meet with an orthopedic the next afternoon and after they looked at the x-rays from the night before they wanted him to see an orthopedic hand specialist...
It wasn't exactly how we thought we would spend Christmas eve morning... They took more x-rays and moved, squeezed, wiggled his arm... and watched how he reacted... HELLO?? OUCH!!!
They said that they couldn't see a difinitive break, but that isn't uncommon in little guys. The doctor said that judging from his reaction to touching and moving it, that there was some sort of break or fracture that wasn't showing up on the x-ray clearly....
The minute he was casted, he was a new little guy! He was so much happier and felt free to move with out pain. So the cast stays on for a month and we go from there:) I have never had a little one casted before, but I am now a fan! He is just so much happier now that the arm is immobile... So much less pain for him... So what ever it was... it will now have a chance to fully heal:)
Our little rocker, break dancer Isaiah... I am so thankful for God's healing touch on this little guys life!
