Yes, Songberries, my DS's arm is broken right above the elbow, the bone is completely borken apart and then it is fractured up through the center of the bone. He had to have pins put in it to fix it. The surgeon, says there may be some nerve damage that we will not know yet, I don't know how soon we will know. And that he may have to eventually have surgery on it again, he does not know for sure when they will even know for sure, it could be in three months it could be in six months, if they even have to do surgery again. And, if they do they do not know right now if they will just completley take the pins out, or relace them.

So, he actually has stitches, with the brake, he cannot have an actual cast because of the stitches, and was under anesthesia. That is why there was an actual hospital stay.
