Update on Madison's wrist

Madison had her ortho apnt today to check on her left wrist. He said that he thinks she might have a ganglion cyst. It is MUCH smaller than this picture shows! It may or may not be related to the sprain she had previously. She could have possibly had some tendon damage at that time which created some chronic inflammation which led to the cyst. The treatment for now is watch and wait. If it gets larger he may try to drain it. Usually they take care of themselves. We have to do the physical therapy to strengthen her wrist and he laughed quite freely about the 3# weight I started her out with. He recommended a 6 oz start because it is so much weaker than the right!! I just thought since her right hand could easily do the 3# weight that her left hand should too! The only restriction is no push-ups in PE because that movement causes her quite a bit of pain. So, I'm thankful that a fracture wasn't missed on her 1st x-ray and that this should resolve in time.

Thanks for your concern.

Love to all, Leah
