Sorry I haven't relayed the updates on my grand daughter. Broke her arm in October 2009, her arm is still curved and she does not have total mobility in her elbow and also her wrist. Third opinion doctor ran some tests and he feels like she has a form of osteogensis imperfecta. She goes weekly and has been since February to a therapist. Seems to have helped with her mobility alittle not a great amount. We are still very concerned. Think of her in your prayers.
As far as sports (with the doctor's blessing) she enjoyed a wonderful winning summer of softball. We were all very anxious, but she did wonderful. Although the doctors recommedation right now is for her to not play fast pitch next year. We'll see when the time arrives.
They have since moved into a new house with a pool, and she swims everyday, therapist says very good therapy for her. She is still enjoying her dance classes and was also chosen to joy the competition dance team. During the beginning of her recitals she was alittle self conscious of her arm, but with all the family support, she trooped throught it with flying colors. For any of you with the issue of broken arms and them not looking right, I can totally sympathize with you. Unless something changes, the doctor feels that we should not go through the re-breaking and re-setting of her arm for fear of it not healing. We just pray that the mobility will increase and the curve will become less noticeable.
