RoyalUk thanks for sharing your story. He will be taking off his brace for PE and he also plays basketball out of school so will take it off then also so that will be his 4hrs for the day. He's having trouble at night as it's very hot but next week he gets some holes drilled into it so his skin can breath.
~Kaz~ he will need to wear it until he is 21 so a very long time.
Thank you all for your advice.
Dianne, thought Tali's idea about umpiring is a great one. I couldn't think of it myself. But, wanted more to say how terrific your DS is. What a fantastic young man, and wonderful friend. I have no doubt, that he is one of the 'biggest' 12 y/o's around. Congratulate yourself on raising a fine young man.
DS told me the sweetest thing, apparently today they had a chat and have worked out that they can play downball, as long as there are no low serves . So I think they are actually working it all out together.
