Elbow Surgery?

Best wishes for a speedy and complete recovery

ditto - good luck

CADad - Definitly my best wishes, thoughts and prayers for a full and speedy recovery

Best Wishes. We are in the same boat as the bad news that elbow surgery will be required was delivered my 14 yo last week. We are hopeful the can just scope it to clean up what is needed. We will pray for a speedy and copmplete reovery for your son

CADad -
Very sorry to hear son is not mending as hoped. My best wishes to you both on a clear diagnosis and a speedy, healthy recovery.

All,
Thanks for the good wishes and prayers. The orthopedist took x-rays this morning and felt it looked like it was healing. He does want CASon to wait another 6 weeks and get another set of x-rays before throwing again, but that is far preferable to surgery.

kjktj,
Sorry to hear that. I haven't been on this board much lately so I didn't know your son had an elbow problem. I hope the surgery is minor, successful and that recovery is quick and complete.

CADad - Just noticed this.

All the best for a speedy recovery.

Thanks CA. It is my youngest. Will in all likely hood miss his freshman High School season. But should come back for his Soph. Better now than Jr. or Sr. I guess? Middle boy is healthy, we moved him to San Francisco this past weekend.

Again, Best wishes to yours

One word of encouragement for both of you. I've had a couple of my summer kids who've had elbow injuries that didn't need surgery, but instead healed nicely with rest in a splint for about 5-6 weeks, and then physical therapy thereafter.

One of those boys missed the entire 2005 summer, and the other had to cut short his season this summer. The 2005 kid came back stronger than ever, and the other kid is going through PT at this time. Both are headed off to play baseball at a great school this fall.
