Tyson and his arm agian!

Well I have a lot to catch up on...On September 18, Tyson had another traumatic experience, his pins in his arm got infected and so I had to take him back to Flagstaff and they took off his cast and his arm was soooo swollen. It also had blisters on it where the cast was, they think he may have been allergic to something to do with the cast. But you could hardly see the pins sticking out since his arm was so swollen. So they took an x-ray to see if his arm had healed well enough to take out his pins. Well it had grown really well. So he sent a PA to take out the pins......no numbing...just a pair of plier like instrument. I sat behind him holding him, as he burried his head in my neck and held my hand tightly. She tried several times to try to get them out but her pliers kept slipping off the pins....it was horrible! He was screaming. I was crying. Finally she stopped and she went to go talk to the Dr., finally the Dr. came in and apollogized and that it was unusual that the pins were not just slipping out. So he told us that he would have to put him under anesthesia to get them out the next morning...so that is what we did! Afterwards the Dr. said that his bone had grown back so well that it had grown some to the pins and that could have been why it was getting infected, that his body was healing and was now rejecting them and wanting them out.
