What we've been up to...

-SURGERY-
Well this is Renzos arm when he broke it awhile back. He had some screws and plates put in. He was having some pain so we went to the doctor to see what was going on and there was a peice of bone growing on the side of his arm. The one doctor had never seen anything like this before so he just gave him some pain Medicine and some Steriods to make it stop growing. But, the pain continued... and the bump got bigger... MUCH bigger! It looked as if it was broken or something with this huge bump on his arm.
So we switched Doctors and decided to find someone who actually knew something. Sorry weird PAYSON doctor. Got an appointment in Salt Lake and the University of Utah ORTHOPEDICS center. Seriously the people there were all so AMAZING and SO friendly! He saw the doctor and he decided to remove bump! Four weeks later we were in for the surgery date! And if anyone's seen his scar from the first doc. you'd probably think he had no idea what he was doing.. so on surgery day the NEW doc. said he coud remove the bone growth trough the old scar and also remove the entire scar, triple stitch it and HOPE it doesnt split again! Surgery went great and we have another appointment in a few days to see how it's healing.
Renzo has been doing pretty good! Just limited use of the arm and tired most of the day!!!

Please pray and wish us luck through this whole thing. There are still chances that the bone could grow again and also chances for the dang scar to SPLIT again!
