Baylor had surgery on his arm on December 19, 2008. The surgery is to lengthen the bone in his arm. Dr. Gugenheim cut his bone and put in lots of pins. He has these 2 steel rings on the outside of his arm, and we have to turn the screws three times a day to slowly pull the bone apart. It looks very interesting. Baylor loosens all the bolts and turns the screws himself. He has to wear the arm contraption for 3 months. We spent 4 days in the hospital to manage pain, but Baylor's a trooper. He had the pain medicine machine where he could pump the medicine himself.
