Back in the day

We headed to the Civil War Medical Museum (for Carter's ever growing love of history...he bonus that we live in an area so rich with history).

The boys found braces from back-in-the-day and wanted to compare some of Brayden's.  Not a huge difference.

As we walked around reading about the gruesome truths to medical treatment during the civil war, I kept having to remind myself how far medicine has come.  A child like Brayden would not a lived long during that time. The discoveries of medication, treatments and even just patient care has made huge progress and still there is so much unknown and ways to improve.
