Comment on Zachary Sheds His Cast by Stacey and Alex

@Michelle: Glad to answer, thanks for writing.

Zachary’s arm seemed to heal straight enough. There was extra bone around the breaks, but we were told bone grows and disappears as needed, and even the bulk of the extra bone would eventually go away. Any (mild) angular issues would also correct themselves, we were told, because the bone knows how to grow, and it also reacts to stresses when being used that help it know which way to grow and change to stay strong (and straight, as necessary).

My guess (and I’m no doctor) is the angle, if minor, will correct itself just fine over time. My wife (also not a doctor) just informed me that we were also told a more major angle might require a re-break and re-cast, but such a thing is really rare. Hopefully your daughter’s angle is slight enough (whatever that means technically), and will heal just fine. Good luck!

My 2 year old daughter sustained a fracture to both the radius and ulna & she just had it removed this week. Her bone healed in a bit of an angle as well & you can tell by looking at her arm. The Doctor says this will correct itself. I was researching & ran into your blog. Did your son’s angular bone correct itself? Thank you for your help!

Comment on We’ve switched themes here on the site … by Stacey and Alex

And yes, this is the unadorned stock theme, and no, it’s not exactly screaming “awesome!”, nor is it feeling entirely graphically appropriate for the subjects and subject matter. In due time, or maybe never, we’ll fix it or we won’t. ;)

We hope to have an xray pic up eventually.

Comment on Z turns 3 (months, that is)! by Stacey and Alex

I suppose we should also apologize for this (and any other updates) not happening in over TWO MONTHS.

Sooo…. Sorry! We get busy, and some things slip… when they shouldn’t. :(

We will try to do better, I promise! –Alex

Today was not the day. :(

Soon enough, though…soon enough. :)

Comment on Another way to keep up with Benjamin… by Dad

I’ve discovered that you actually need to be using at least Version -4- of of the Google Toolbar for this to work; I assume that version 4 is the latest as of this writing. If you’ve already been using the Google Toolbar for a while you may discover the version you have isn’t current.

Not a big deal! If you need to update, it will prompt you and walk you through it. Easy-peasy. :)

If you have any trouble, let me know; I’ll get it working for you.

We were hoping to plan some sort of get-together for his 6-months-old “birthday” (this coming Sunday!), but we just plain ran out of time. :(

We’re hoping to be a little more proactive about his 1-year birthday!

We -did- check the local, shiny-new Babies R Us store in Brookfield, too… they don’t carry them. Just in case anyone was wondering…

Alex ran into a technical snag regarding the pictures…. so they’re delayed again. Sorry!

We didn’t have the camera along…no picture of the moment! :(

Comment on Twelve weeks… so hard to believe. by Dad

Day Four since Mom’s back to work…. and it’s a struggle, I won’t lie. Once again we’ve changed his routine, and it’s taking him some time to get used to it all… I imagine he’ll adjust soon enough… Sooner would be better from a Daddy-sanity point of view. ;)

(he did finally go, later that same day… if you’re wondering. ;))

Comment on So finicky, babies… by Stacey and Alex

Stacey and Alex — Thu, 04 May 2006 11:24:30 +0000

It’s funny now, reading back to when we wrote this, finding out that this was going to be so common and end up not being that big of a deal at all. I mean, suuuuure, it’s still stressful, but it’s gotten routine… And really, he’s gotten a lot better about it since, too, being so much older and all now. ;)
