DiapHer's son - Page 3 - Houston Texans Message Board & Forum

Giant Tiger · 05-11-2008

Glad to hear your son is doing well & healing nicely. My son will be 6 soon. I caught him swinging upside down yesterday. I wasn't too happy, but I guess it's part of growing up. Have to go. He just made a mess of my wife's Mother's Day cake

Kyle you need to swim as soon as you can to build muscle in your arm. When I was 15 I hurt my arm and was told not to swim, Come on put a removable cast on me and tell me not to swim, Anyhoo I succeded to strengthen my arm and gained 99.9% movement when the doctors said I would not get 60% movement.

I remember after getting my cast off for a fractured wrist in 7th grade and coming home the first thing I did was get in the pool for a swim...it HURT like no other I thought it was still broken. I also swam the entire time with the cast on...think of a shark but I would swim on my side with my arm straight up out of the water.

Thanks Joe, swimming will be his best bet in recovering!!!

He is going to fly to Iowa and show up at her job and stalk her. To bad she works from home and has the shotgun near by just incase he actually does show up. The hogs need to be feed anyway.

Although, hogs in that neck of the woods are good eatin', as well as the corn and cattle... Remember, I have experience with "The A-1 sauce girl" from Iowa...

UPDATE:

Kyle went back to the doctor again this morning and they took more x rays and the bones are still in line but he still has a big bump where the break happened. He was able to get a shorter cast below his elbow..he picked an orange one...I would have chosen RED but our school colors here are orange and black. Good news is that the doctor said only two more weeks instead of 4 more. BAD news he went turkey hunting this weekend and he now has poison oak on his upper chest and leg.(Don't yell at me SheTexan) We are treating it aggressively with Zanfel (poison ivy wash) and prednisone tablets.

Oh My Gosh, A cast in this heat is bad enough, but Poison itchy rash on top of it. . . Poor kid! So sorry! hope he had fun hunting anyway.

**Showtime100** · 05-20-2008

Hope that poison ivy didn't get down his cast!

The rash hasn't made it to the cast area YET and hopfully won't, and we are in fantastic Spring weather up here right now...73 degrees and NO humidity!! Hopefully, when the heat hits he will have his cast off and he is doing therapy in our pool in the backyard.

**Texan_Bill** · 05-20-2008

When is that he supposed to get it off? and then, does he have to wear a soft cast for a little while??

**Showtime100** · 05-20-2008

Just don't put any stickers on it..lol.

**DiapHer** · 05-20-2008

The doctor said only two weeks with this new (hard cast) not sure about having to wear a soft cast after that because my husband took him to the doctor this morning and he tends to leave small details out

but I will ask.

How cute!!!

Kyle said he wasn't going to let anyone sign this one he wanted to TRY to keep it clean. Thank GAWD they washed his arm and hand before they put the new one on. The lady that cut his old one off told him about a girl that they put a leg cast on and they couldn't get her to come back in..finally after ONE YEAR she came back to get it cut off!!! She went in detail about the smell and growth (things came flying out)when she cut it off!!! ugh
