No more brace....well almost...

We missed 2 rehab appointments last week. But today we went for follow-up with Dr. Barrie. Lauren still is hesitant to move that wrist, and isn't as far along as Dr. Barrie would like as far as range-of-motion. Lauren did get more x-rays taken and it looks as if the wrist is still angled but remodeling well. There is still alot of visible swelling in the wrist area. She still does not have 100% feeling in her 1st and 2nd fingers. We are still hoping that every day that gets better. She has been cleared to not wear the brace at all, and Im not 100% confortable with that, so I advised Lauren to wear it at school. Thats all I need at this point, someone to bump, push, etc. I definately don't want to go through what I did the last time. ha ha.

So we will continue to do range-of-motion exercises and follow up in a month with Dr. Barrie again. Hopefully for the last time with her for this case.
