The Cast is Off
That’s right the cast came off. It actually came off on the 29th, her daddy’s birthday. I was worried sick about how she would react upon seeing the saw but daddy said she was so brave. In fact he says she laughed because it tickled. lol. Can you picture it?
She did have a little red area on the inside of her elbow from where the cast stayed on it. But other than that she did great. She said it felt great to have it off, but refused to move it. She actually walked around that night like she still had it on it. I’ve never had a cast on so wouldn’t know if that is normal.
The doctor says she must still be careful for at LEAST two more weeks. So no skateboards or in her case scooters. Thank goodness. She told me last night that it started hurting again in the area so we’ve put back on her brace for now at least until she feels it doesn’t hurt and we know it’s healed completely and won’t snap back out of place. eeeek.
I’m not even telling you what this hospital bill is costing but it is much larger than $300. Here’s an older shot of her in the brace before the cast went on, so it gives you an idea. (she’s such a fragile little thing)
