Jake Hand Update
Jake has been doing well completely off his medication with an occasional dose of ibuprofen. Turning the device in smaller increments has been working and it's probably a combination of factors including with each passing day Jake's thumb hurts less and he is able to tolerate the movement. Small dose of anxiety over the weekend as we are turning the device clockwise as instructed but we saw an arrow on the device when looking through the splint and it was point the other direction. Although we are sure we are doing it the right way, the shadow of doubt just adds to the anxiety. The spacing definitely looks wider than previous photos but you never know. We marked his bandages with red nail polish to monitor the spacing so this should help. We have a check-up at Children's Hospital today so we should get a good luck at Jake's hand and confirm everything is going as planned. In-Depth update of the Dr. report to come tonight.
