2nd Visit with Dr. Shrader...

Well today was our 2nd appointment with Dr. Shrader.  The pink cast came off and and xray was taken, then Dr. Shrader came in to go over things with us...

He said "That the break was healing fairly straight and looks good.  He also said that where the "cyst" was is starting to darken up. (or fill in??)."  He then went on to say "that if he was a gambling man when he first saw the cyst and the break that it would have more than likely needed a bone graft."  "Now I am not sure, we will put it in a cast for another 4 weeks and then see where we are."  He said "in simular breaks without the cyst that this would be the last cast but, we will probably put another cast on after this 4 weeks and see how the cyst area is healing".  All in all I am believing this to be positive news and I am thankful for the progress.

So she has a beautiful new cast thanks to Dr. Shraders' assitant Rita... A bright orange cast with green strips!! She looks like a green and orange candy cane!!  It really is cute and different, THANKS RITA!!



Thanks to all who have been praying!! Although we can not stop!! 
1.We need to continue to pray for the cyst to be gone and the bone to grow back strong. 
2. That the bone will continue to grow back staight.
3. Safety with the cast, in the wheelchair and on crutches. (we don't want added injury!)
4. Please pray for her attitude and the rest of the family.  This is truly a trying time. 

Praise God for all the progress!!

  1. Sweet Reanna -

    Praying for full healing in your leg and no more cyst, awesome attitudes, and sweet Reanna to stay sweet!

    BTW, Mona - your gracious attitude during the spring softball season has rubbed off on James. He has been coaching our softball team for our new church this fall, and while the season is now over James made sure we played with grace. Not sure I would have seen that in him if he had not seen it in you first. So, thank you!

    Blessings,
    Michelle
