Broken Scaphoid--Broken Swimmer

Just got the first (of probably many!) casts. Riley broke the scaphoid bone in his hand. This is a tricky little bone that doesn't like to heal.

They recheck it in 2 weeks. If its showing improvement he will get to move into a waterproof cast (which means he can get back into swim practice and training!). If it isn't improving, then he will have to have surgery.

Bummer. Riley is not thrilled---but likes this cast much more than the splint.
