Update on Nick - everything is good

Nick's Dad provided the following update:

Nick has passed through the surgery with no issues


Pins in his hips to prevent any slippage of the growth plate - the issue he had was sudden growth spurt combined with a "skiffy" (Slipped Capital Femoral Epiphysis) - essentially the soft plate at the top of his femur (the long leg bone) right below the ball part experienced a slight almost invisible slip. He got two on one side, one on the other as a preventative measure


Expecting to be at Childrens Hospital another night or so. Nick will be on crutches for a week or so and no running for 3 months. Otherwise he should make a full recovery.

Please join us in wishing Nick a speedy recovery.
