He had the added surprise of finding a leaf inside his cast that smells just awesome.<\/p>\n<p>The break is 80% healed (which is what the doctor was expecting) and will heal the other 20% over time. For the next two weeks he needs to wear a brace to help build the muscle up again and protect it in the mean time.<\/p>\n<p>Even though they took a loud saw to his arm, he kept his composure the whole time and just smiled as the nurse cut through it. I&#8217;m so proud of him! I love these one-on-one bonding experiences, even if it is just a doctors appointment.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1
