Benjamin Update

We went back to the ENT on Monday for Benjamin and they did a CT scan and he had a small fracture. We had the option of waiting until he was 16 to see how things would turn out or we could go ahead and have it fixed now. The ENT advised us to get it fixed now because he will have growth and most likely his nose would not end up straight, which could cause breathing problems. So, today they put him out and fixed his nose (I am sure Eric will get on and give you the exact terminology of what they did). He was amazingly brave, but a little disoriented when he was waking up. He is doing great and did not take long to recover. He does not seem to be in much pain at all. We are having a hard time getting him to take it easy. The hard part is going to be in the next month to make sure his nose does not get hit. I wish they could put a cast on it somehow. I would love to attach pictures, but my computer isn't working, Eric's doesn't have a card reader, and we don't know where the cable is to the camera. As soon as we solve all of those problems we will put pictures on.
