Bad News and Good News

The bad news...

A few weeks ago Nathan injured his arm playing baseball. While playing first base the batter ran right into him and even the third baseman heard a loud pop. With twin babies lets just say this was not the best timing for daddy to hurt his arm. After an appointment with his general practice doctor, an xray, a referral to a sports medicine doctor, an MRI, and a referral to a sports medicine doctor who specializes in elbows, we learned that he separated his ucl (the tommy john's ligament) from the bone... ouch!

The good news...

The elbow specialist has determined that he will not need surgery. He has to wear an arm brace for two months and cannot play baseball or golf, but the doctor thinks he should make a full recovery. Even better news... the doctor cleared him for holding babies!
