I actually did great pain wise, I required ice, and was uncomfortable for the first 24-48 hours but never took any meds or required anything special. <br /><br />We have learned as I've grown up that I have a high pain tolerance, but as I had two more breaks in the next year and a half we also learned that the first couple days were the hardest for me, and I pray that this will be the case for Brandon as well, that he will be back to normal within a week or so.<br /><br />With this being said, there is a very good chance of Brandon reinjuring it. Because kids heal so quicly, and are just wired to play as soon as the pain stops, it can be a whole nother battle trying to let things completely heal.<br /><br /> I tried to play on the monkey bars one handed about a week and a half after the first break. Even the third time I broke my arm I was trying to play before it was all the way healed. I'm not sure what can be done about this, as I was repeatedly told not to, and even told I may need surgery if I rebreak it, but at that age I didn't understand. Brandon will, because he just had surgery, but I just want to warn you that it is VERY hard at that age to miss out on playing. <br /><br />In regards to brittle bone syndrome, or other syndromes I would not worry too much. I know this is hard, but due to my breaks I had this concern in the back of my mind for quite some time, before finally volunteering for a bone density clinical trial. It was not worth all that worrying, and now I feel ridiculous for worrying myself for so long.<br /><br />It sounds to me as if he went the first few years fracture free, which is a great sign. If he does have it it would be to a very minor degree. I actually know a boy with mild OI, and the only effect it seems to have had on him is that rather than playing football he is a swimmer, so he does not have contact with other athletes. Also, my ex-boyfriend once got mad and punched him in the shoulder, which resulted in my ex breaking his own finger. So, I hope you can keep from worrying, but don't be afraid to ask, so that you don't have to worry, as I know it is hard for you not to. <br /><br />Sorry this is so long, you and Brandon and the rest of the family are in my prayers.Nhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03981632187636408430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3768534590305913681.post-33679465826142692612010-06-02T13:53:46.218-07:002010-06-02T13:53:46.218-07:00So, so sorry...know that feeling of enough is enou...So, so sorry...know that feeling of enough is enough, but than that feeling of "why not us".<br />Kick the enemy in the teeth by putting on praise music...use your talented voice to sing praises at the top of your lungs, dance around the house...let your joy over come the darkness.<br />Blessings tomorrow, so sorry, will be praying,<br />JanetteJanettessage.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01262598732466380229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3768534590305913681.post-19996938515892490682010-06-02T12:21:52.638-07:002010-06-02T12:21:52.638-07:00Thank you all-I needed the prayers-still do. The ...Thank you all-I needed the prayers-still do. The meeting went fine expect no one is stepping up to take the blame or responsibility for what happened and there is just no excuse for this. If it were just that he was in the bounce house and broke his arm that would be different the problem is that he had 4 excuses medical excuses saying he wasn't to participate in PE or Recess activities and they let him go into a bounce house!<br />The bounce house people say the school signs off on it all and they are basically saying were sorry but I don't know that we can do anything about this.<br />I don't know what is going to happen and where this will go but it shouldn't be happening-the bottom line is he shouldn't have been in there.<br />Just trying to stay calm to get my final answer from the school but I am not backing down. The bad part is that it is the end of school today and so they won't be around which will make things harder.<br />It is a mess.<br />Thanks for your prayers.<br />Kelly-we just read the whole Little House series with our daughter-we own it all-he might like it too-they are so educational-my husband said he couldn't believe how much he didn't know about it all till he read them with her-we own the whole DVD collection too which we didn't let her see until she read the books-I love that series it is wonderful-we have the Magic Tree house books too and he is reading better that he might enjoy those too.<br />Thanks again for all your love, support and prayers.<br />JillAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02032814616544851463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3768534590305913681.post-6465170395049978882010-06-02T07:04:35.561-07:002010-06-02T07:04:35.561-07:00Oh Jillllll! {hugs}
Praying for you and your Mama ...Oh Jillllll! {hugs}<br />Praying for you and your Mama Bear's heart. I totally get it and would be asking for prayers myself! Praying for you and quick healing for Brandon. As I was reading your post, I was thinking that is a lot of "down" time for Brandon...maybe a really good book series or something God/character focused. Our entire family LOVES the Little House books even though they are about girls. We read them 2 summers ago (so Nate was 7) and he loved them too. Praying for wisdom, grace, and creativity for your summer.
