Good news today! Dr. Matsen said Ryan’s shoulder appears to be OK so they are treating it like an initial dislocation…. for now.

That means wearing the immobilizer and doing some isometric exercises to strengthen the shoulder muscles. They also taught him how to fall next time so he doesn’t injure it again. That will be a challenge as our natural instinct when we fall is to reach out to stop our falling.

Bottom line is no surgery…. for right now!

Yippee!
