Dupont Visit

Noah's visit to Dupont went wonderfully today! His splints were gently taken off, and then he was x-rayed to check the progress of his bones. Noah's splints had to be changed due to the decrease in the swelling of his limbs, and the splints are now softer and a bit smaller than before. Everything looked okay, although Noah said for the first time he felt every single break; When Noah's splints were on he did not feel individual breaks, but only a general pain. Noah took extra pain medication, but it really did not work much since he was getting moved around so much. The doctor, nurses and technicians were all so careful and meticulous with Noah. We could not have asked for better attention or quality from the hospital staff. This Thursday, Noah will go back to Cooper for another cat scan, which is the procedure when monitoring a hematoma. This week is a busy week for Noah considering he cannot go anywhere except doctor appointments(by ambulance of course)--wish him luck!
