Update on Kyle's arm


I went with Kyle to his doctor appointment today for another follow up. His hand is still not functioning right. There has been no improvement for the past 3 months with his nerves. He can feel a little with it but his radial nerve was damaged and is still not functioning. He can't lift up his wrist and straighten out his fingers and can barely move his thumb. On Monday he is going to a nerve specialist. They are going to test his upper extremity nerves ( I can't remember what it's called) to check and see if there is any nerve activity. The doctor told me we are now into decision time. If there is no activity he could have another surgery to try and repair it but the doctor said that sometimes it can come out worse. If there is some nerve activity we would just wait and hope that it gets better. So thats not exactly the news I was hoping for but at least he's still alive.
