New Splints

Junior has been using his new hand splints for a few hours each day and today was in them nearly 6 hours.  He absolutely rocked it and didn't complain once about them.  When I took them off there was no redness or skin issues so tomorrow night he will wear them for his first night.  It is hard to have him in a brace like this so many hours during the day because he can't use his hands/fingers when in them so I am so happy that he has adjusted to them so much quicker then we thought he would.  Now he will wear these at night and go back to his regular splints for daytime use. 
The bottom corner picture he is back in his daytime splints so he can play with his toys. 
 I already see a difference in his hand tightness and range of motion, also his pinky fingers which were the biggest issue are both straightening more then they were.  This is only day 4 so hopefully with regular use we will continue to see improvement. 
Little dude being goofy.  He wanted Chewbacca and his toy snake to play with, he knew aunty Mellisa was coming over and he could scare her with the snake.
