We got all that info with the exception of no anti-inflammatory drugs.

Why is that?

He has been asking for Advil because he says the Oxycodone they prescribed gives him a headache.

Anti-inflammatory drugs can cause bleeding and also retard bone growth. Taking an occassional advil for his headache will not hurt him. Taking the meds 4 or more times a day would be a problem.

Excedrin tension headache-aspirin free caplets taken with milk will help with the headache.

My thoughts and prayers are with your son for a speedy recovery.

As a guy, and my Ol' Man had no sense of pain in himself or anyone else.

Me, I'd take him to the game and let him be with his buddies.  You KNOW he'd be welcomed like conquering hero by guys much older than himself and the coaches.  Nothing could raise his spirits or morale more.  He'd forget all about the headache.

I love Joanimaroni to death...but...she's also a MOM and you know how they are! Wink Wink Wink

Take pictures, he's going to tell stories about this until he's my age.

Easy Markle....give it just a little time.


Sal, how is he doing?

He's recovering, but it has not been easy.

Honestly, his injury has been more severe than I anticipated every step of the way.

He went to the doctor yesterday to have the packing removed, so that's a small step in the right direction.

The doctor said that he could experience headaches for up to two months and have heightened sensitivity to bright lights and loud noises.

He's on spring break right now, but she said to keep him home the following week as well to avoid any inadvertent contact.

I did take him to his team's game this morning, and he did receive a hero's welcome.

I haven't seen him smile that much since his injury, so that was good for both of us.

I am glad he is smiling and pray he will get a clean bill of health in a few weeks.......lots of time to play baseball in the future......just get well.

It will take time. Taking it easy and rest is not part of their vocabulary. Unfortunately, playing on the phone, IPad or computer can cause headaches.

Thanks.

For the first time since the injury, he seemed a little improved yesterday.

And, he's much improved from where he was yesterday, today.

Feeling very grateful and relieved, although he still has a long row ahead.

How old is your son-13? I'm surprised he's asking for the advil rather than the oxycodone? I wouldn't think the advil would touch the pain. That sinus bone break is a serious injury. I hope it heals well.

He's 15.

Actually, the docs were relatively unconcerned with the sinus fracture.

They said it could cause some headaches for a couple of months, but would heal nicely and completely on its own.

The nose is looking really good.

The plastic surgeons did a great job, and now that most of the swelling has gone down, it looks really straight and normal.

It's just very, very fragile, and he's going to have to be very careful with it for the next five weeks.

He only asked for one pain med yesterday, so I think we're on a roll.

Glad his getting off the pain meds and is moving to full recovery. Do you think he is done with baseball this year, or will you let him play in six weeks?
Have you investigated a batting helmet which can protect his injured area?

That is a question for another day.

We're 100% focused on recovery at this point.

Yes.

And, he'll wear the protective device until he gets (I get) comfortable.

One of the players on a rec baseball team we coached had always played catcher....for several seasons. He wanted to change and play short stop....so we moved him. He had no fear and he would charge the ball. A ball took a bad hop and hit him in the nose.....it broke his nose and split his lip. When he was cleared to play I made him wear a catchers mask. No rules against who can and cannot wear the mask. We got a lot of flake for the mask.... but he did great.

I know I'm new to the forum and so far we don't seem to see eye to eye on a certain topic, however, I just wanted to say that I'm very sorry to have read about your sons injury, I sincerely wish him a speedy recovery.

No.

Feeling much better, although the internal stints are bothersome.

Wants to get back to school, but no go until cleared by the docs.

Sal, my apologies for not posting on your son's injury but you know what I've been doing and it's not hanging out on the forum! I do wish him a speedy recovery and a return to normalcy in his life . . . the sooner the better but it takes time. Good luck going forward!

Please don't let him go back until you're sure he's past the danger point. It won't hurt him to stay home. Again, without going into detail, I have dealt with a broken nose and other injuries. Give him time to heal.

Stints removed this morning.

Cleared to return to school tomorrow.

No strenuous activities for six weeks, but on the road to a full recovery.

Thanks for all the kind sentiments and encouragement.

It's appreciated.
