NO SURGERY - YAY!!!

Well, to start off with, my parents ended up taking Colton to Cedar City to meet with Dr. Delcore. They finally got in touch with him at 11 o'clock last night. He was more than happy to take Colton in today and see what needed to be done. They got there are the Dr. decided that the fracture wasnt bad enough to have to pin so he ended up just casting it. Colton was so relieved he didnt have to have surgery. So they have to go back to see him in two weeks and they will then take some more Xrays to see how things are. If it hasnt started to grow right then they will go in and put some screws in but if everything goes as planned it should only take about 6 weeks to heal. He was also relieved that he only had to have a cast up to his knee and not up further.
So, other than that, Jaron decided that this snow wasn't going to be too much fun to camp in so they came home. They will still go and hunt on this side of the mountain during the day but at least I will have him home at night and not as far away.
Jager and I have just been hanging out here at my mom's trying to help her get some house work done so she can take care of Colton.
Here's a pic of his cast.
oh, and p.s. - Happy Anniversary Mom and Dad!

Wow...that's kind of good news...as long as the Dr. is right about not having to have surgery! Are your parents thinking of taking him to Primary Children's for a second opinion?
Keep us posted! It's about time Jaron started to think logical!

Love you guys,
Mom
