I got a call from Dr Latz's office and was told that Dr Latz and 3 of his colleagues went over Ben's case and they have concluded that he does NOT need surgery to reset the break! Yay!
Wednesday was Ben's second doctors appointment. It started the same as last week with some x-rays. The x-ray tech's couldn't believe how well he does during them! Then we met with Dr Latz's nurse because the doc was in surgery. She said the x-ray shows good healing but not enough to change out his cast. Now that the swelling has gone down the cast is much looser on him and they really want to change it. I asked if there was a chance he could get the fiberglass/waterproof cast before we leave for our vacation (Vince has a meeting in Palm Beach so Ben & I are going to tag along for a mini vacation) on Wednesday and she said she couldn't really say either way. So we go back on Monday with all our fingers and toes crossed that Ben can get his new cast for vaca! Either way we will have to get a special cover so he doesn't get any sand in the cast.
