This is the first of many surguries... they placed an external fixator on his right arm and hand... this fixator has some little screws that we have to turn four times a day to start adjusting the hand to move to the top of the wrist, this procedure is stretching the tendons and muscles, preparing the arm to have a rod placed inside the arm... this fixator will stay on appr. 6 weeks . He will then go back into surgury to have that taken off and a rod put into the arm.. the rod will hold the wrist in place and will stay there for almost a year, and then once removed, the wrist supposedly will stay on top of the arm. and supposedly he will have full use of his hands and will be able to bend his wrist... after right arm is done, they will start on the second arm.... Everyone seemed to agree, that doing one arm at a time on a two year old was the best way to go, including nurses and hospital staff
