I''ll be praying for your son H!!!!
 
I hope it''s going well. Thinking of you guys.
 
Just caught this thread Heather. I am hoping for a successful surgery and a rapid recovery for your son. Stay strong and please keep us updated.
 
Thanks everyone for being so thoughtful and thinking of us!!

We are home, after a long, stressful but successful day. Christopher is resting fairly comfortably right now, although his tummy is a bit upset and he doesn''t feel up to eating. He is happy to be home and I am so relieved this part is over. He will go for a post op appointment on Tuesday and has pain meds to get him through when the local in his arm wears off. He will remain in some type of casting for 3 months, but is hoping that by the end of June (his 13th birthday) he will be back to his regular sports and activities.

Again, I appreciate each and every one of you that took the time to send your healing thoughts and well wishes our way!

I am with Kimberly. I am so happy for you guys; you are such a good mom!!!! Praying for a speedy recovery!
 
Thankfully the worst is behind you! Now he can heal and you can relax a bit, as much as a mom can! I am so happy for your family...
 
Oh, Heather, I hadn''t seen this thread until today, so I didn''t have chance to wish you both well pre-surgery, but will be praying for his speedy and comfortable recovery now!
 
Sorry I''m late chiming in, but I''m sending good vibes your way, too.

All is well here and other than the inconvenience of only having one hand to use, Christopher is feeling very well and presently entertaining some friends. It always amazes me at the resilience that children have.

yeah! wonderful news.
 
Good for him, glad to hear he came through the surgery with flying colors!
 
How''s your son doing Hlmr?
 
He is coming along very nicely, thanks so much for asking FG! Amazingly he required no pain meds in the hours/days/weeks after the surgery....tough kid as it was quite invasive surgery.

He is bothered a bit by the pin that is still sticking out of his hand (holding that rebuilt ligament in place) because it has shifted position somewhat, but fortunately it will be removed in a couple of weeks and he can start physiotherapy.

He hopes that by the end of June (his 13th birthday) he will be using his thumb again as normal.

He's a tough guy! I hope that his progress is on track and he'll be able to use the thumb in June too!

Hlmr, how''s your son''s thumb? And a happy birthday to him if it hasn''t happened yet...

Aw, FG, you are so very thoughtful to ask! He is turning 13 on Saturday

. I will tell him you send birthday wishes.

He is doing great! He just recently was told he could stop wearing his cast/splint and his thumb is amazing! He has to build back up the muscles that haven't been used in his forearm and thumb area, but other than that, it has really turned out fine. He tells me it's weird a bit, because he can feel the difference inside his reconfigured thumb versus his other one but that it feels strong in there, so that sounds good.

This is his last day of school, and he is looking forward to a summer of biking, swimming and hanging with his friends!
 
I'm so glad to hear your son is doing well! Happy birthday to him too!

And, I hope your bruise is better!! I had a good chuckle reading through your thread last night as I am forever banging into door frames and beds. Luckily my bruises don''t show up too much, especially at this time of year when I have a tan but I feel your pain! lol
