Just found this thread - ye-ikes that must have hurt.

Glad to hear that the first two are healing up well GG - all the best for the last one. Like you say, surgery might not be your first choice, but if it fixed things up in the long run it might be worth it.

All the best to Declan - we'll be thinking of him.

Cheers,
Matt

Well we are off to hospital again for further checks. The xrays that were taken yesterday were checked at the childrens hospital and they want further ones to make sure all is ok. It sounds as though surgery will be needed and it will happen tomorrow. He has a school party in the afternoon tomorrow and is not happy having to fast.

Rant time- Have you ever had to try and find a kids sling for a broken arm. There are no such things in existence in Australia, surely with all the kids falling off bars, swings and trees there must be a need for them. We had to purchase one from Ireland last week and it arrived today. At least that brought a smile to his face with the racing cars on it...rant over

Just in case you need one here is the link  http://www.etsy.com/shop/KidsSlings?ref=si_shop

Thanks mate, I am sure it will, the little fella is just getting sick of waiting rooms and xrays as I am sure you were. Any time anyone talks about pins he cringes and starts to get really worried and scared, hopefully after tomorrow we will be on the road to recovery

One of our sons had to get his hand pinned back together (Thumb actually) and he loved it. Didn't hurt him and it freaked out the girls having bits of wire sticking out of his skin :)

Apparently it felt more like a tickle than a pain when it was removed.

Best of wishes for the young bloke.

So what a difference the childrens hospital is to all others I have had the fortune of visiting, bright, colourful and a happy place. Everyone works well and I only spent two hours there today with a half decent outcome. No surgery required, the bones has started to join back together so rather than doing anymore damage they are going to leave it and monitor it for the time being. Declan is happy as there are no more hospital stays.

Go back again on Tuesday for some more xrays and probably a new cast. Melbourne childrens is now are preferred location on the event of an emergency

The tank is amazing, Declan spotted it first with a couple of reef sharks going round and round

Had the kids at the royal children's a couple of times, absolutely brilliant. The was they have set up the emergency is great, instead of waiting hours to be seen they do an assessment first and either get you sorted straight away or back out to wait but it's a lot quicker

Ouch ... I know how the little fella feels. I remember looking down at my wrist after I fell off a ladder at work and it looked like that .....

After the surgery it looked like this ...

Cheers Chippy :D

That looks like one of my wrist plates (I used to make orthopaedic implants) was it a VRP made by Austofix.

Another visit to the children's today and some more xrays, still all in the right place and a new cast on today. The new one is much smaller and lighter and blue. Declan is much happier and we found the meerkats today, crazy buggers. Back in another week for another full check up.

I always hate the amount that they charge for parking in hospital car parks.

Last time wife was in hospital, was $50 a day for parking.!!

Never understand that. People parking there are either working in hospital, in hospital for a reason, or visiting someone who is in hospital.

Never a good moment, but it sounds like the childrens hospital is doing something to make it a little more bearable.

Meerkats, computer games, caterpillars, aquariums, sounds like it might take the fear off the children........

I am guessing that is the technical name lol so if we want to buy one is that what we ask for.  Hope all of you who were there today and still have kids there are going well.
