My poor baby has suffered yet another fracture, but at least this one happened while he was having fun. I guess if your gonna get hurt that's the best way...
Football...Helmet to helmet contact...ouch! They don't mix well.
In a pro game like the NFL, this could result in an extremely serious injury. Is it any different for 12/13 year olds? I honestly don't think so...So, on that note, I think Jonathon got lucky this time.
Yes, this is his neck. A digital picture of an X-ray taken today. Hopefully you can follow this and see what the issue here is. Directly above my typing in the picture there is a good sized white spot/blotch/blob... Above that is an intact vertibrea. The very next one above that is the problem area. On the left side just above the intact one, you can see a small piece just kinda out there in it's own little world? sorta? Squint, its there...lol...well, that's the broken piece that should be attached to the larger one just slightly higher and to the right a little.
So, for now, no football or phys. ed until further notice...and we play hurry up and wait to see what the neurologist has to say. No neck brace, no meds, no nothing. Just hurry and wait. He's supposed to call tonite after he looks at the x-rays. He was in surgery when he got the phone call and was expected to be there a while. Lord only knows when/if we'll hear from him.
Until then...keep squinting at it...you'll find it.
