My new arm....

We picked up Brady's arm this afternoon. I think we went into the appointment a little worried about how it would look. After all, we have gotten used to the 1 1/2 armed baby. The prosthetic looks good (maybe a little large) but he will need room to grow since he will have this arm for atleast 6 months. He wore it for about 3 hours before letting us know he needed a break.

The arm will bring some challenges-he will have to learn how to rebalance himself with the extra weight. Rolling may also be difficult because the arm can come loose if knocked in the wrong direction. Phyiscal Therapists cautioned us he may never crawl because without a moving elbow it is hard to get in the correct position. We will just take the challenges as they come-he has showed us already he has no limitations.
