Sam's Arm

We took Sam to the Ortho Doctor on Friday and come to find out Sam has an interesting thing going on with his elbow, it's called Panner's disease. You can find this in boys mostly 5-10 years old, it effects the normal growth in the outer edge of the elbow. It's actually called Avascular necrosis of the capitellum. The blood supply is cut off. All this to say that it is a long recovery, 1-2 years. His growth plates need to grow and mature. So he won't be playing baseball anytime soon, probably just the passing of time will make it better.
