Things are moving along for Jaron's prosthesis. We went to have him try on piece two of three. This second piece will be the connection between his silicone sleeve and the actual attachment that gives him more length in his arm. When he's older, this piece will allow a variety of attachments to connect to his sleeve (go get refitted every 6 months, so it won't be this exact piece but something similar to it).
They had to mark the edges of the semi squishy black piece so that it lines up with Jaron's body and is symmetrical and even. They took measurements of his existing arm to make sure that the attachment will match his real arm as much as possible. This will hopefully prevent any imbalances in the body when he uses his prosthesis.
They used two popsicle sticks taped together to be the model as they figured out the best angle for the bend and the best length to make piece number three.
Here's Jaron wearing piece number one and two.
