If you're following this blog you will know that Mattie recently broke her arm. After 3 long weeks in her cast we went back to SOS for the follow up x-ray. Bottom line is the x-ray didn't look good. We, at the suggestion of mom, sent it along to my cousin Mitzi who is a P.A. for an Orthopedic Surgeon. She had her doctors look at the x-ray and they all agreed it did not look good. It was looking like we were going to race home for a surgery. We decided to head to Singapore to get a clearer x-ray since the ones here are terrible. After we took the clearer x-ray, it turns out that while we are not out of the woods we don't have to rush home either. One of the bones in her arm is not healing correctly. The two broken ends are only 50%-60% touching, and you want them to be at 100%. So we're hoping that it heals on its own. We now have to go back to Singapore once a week for the next three weeks to have everything checked out. Mitzi was a life saver in this whole ordeal and we will always be grateful to her and the kind doctors who evaluated the x-rays for us long distance. The photos below are of Shawn and Mattie's trip to Singapore.
