Allen Update....

Hey All! Wanted to let you know that we saw the ENT Surgeon today and she said his nose is NOT broken. However, it is fractured and he broke the very tip off of the bone in his nose. The radiology report read, "possible non-displacement fracture." Which she said meant that he has a slight fracture but nothing is out of place. She looked and said there were no blockages and she moved it all around and pushed on it and he never even batted an eye. She said that if it had been broken he would have come unglued when touched and he would have been in bad pain. She said probably what happened was number one they should have done a cat scan rather than X-ray because they are just much easier to read and number two children's are very hard to read because their bones are just not developed yet. So she said the ER doctor just read it and didn't know what he was looking at. So we've worried all we for nothing but that's okay, I'm just so glad we didn't have to do any kind of surgery. I'm sure this won't be our last scare with him. He's always into something. he's just a rough and tough little boy. Thanks for all your concerns and prayers though, we appreciated them all. Best run have a ton to do.

That is wonderful news!!Thanks for letting us know. One time Mandy broke her finger, the ER put her finger in a splint. When we went to the othopedic dr, he wanted to know "who did this?" Guess ER drs just get us fixed up until we can get to a specialist, huh? Anyway, glad to hear he won't have to have surgery.
