Still Not Sure...

Hunter fell and hurt his wrist while at the Cole's house on the last day of school. We waited to see how it was doing after the weekend. It wasn't looking any better. Hunter saw Dr. Metzler to get it checked out. She didn't even want to touch it because it was so swollen for fear of displacing the break. We all thought for sure it was broken. Xrays came back and no break was found. Crazy Hunter was given a brace to keep his wrist in place and told to come back in if it was not getting better or getting worse.
We went in the next week because his wrist wasn't getting better and he could pick up anything without pain. Hunter was referred to an orthopedic surgeon. 
Hunter saw Dr. Dodds today. The xrays today still didn't show a break. But Dr. Dodds was for sure there was a break or some tendon tear. So into a cast it was. Happy Summer!
Hunter was relieved to have something to really hold his wrist. Although it was still sore even with the cast on. 
Hunter went back a week later and finally the xrays should a break. It was in the bone in his hand near his thumb. A new cast was put on. This time with his thumb cast up. Now he couldn't move it and the pain he was having before was gone.
Hunter gets this cast off on July 29th.
