My son was placed in a full length leg cast the third day in the hospital.  He continued to experience excruciating pain which prevented changes in position.

Day 4 or 5 my son was placed in a half body cast with a bar keeping his legs separated and aligned in a fixed position called a spica bar.  He continued to have pain, but did tolerate minor position changes.

The spica bar compounded the problem of using a urinal.  I spoke with all of the nursing staff and the Occupational Therapist concerning our problem.  We searched medical catalogs and I went to every pharmacy in a 30 mile radius without any success in finding any male urinary devices that would meet my sons needs.  THIS JUST WOULD NOT DO!

Stay tuned for part 3
