Amazing

I think it is truly amazing what our bodies can do. ..

Friday, we went to Iowa City to have Casey's cast removed and then have his leg x-rayed. On the x-ray you can still see where the break was, but you can also see where the new bone has formed and already lengthened out to look like the original bone!! He was only in that cast for 7 weeks! I bet it'll only be a couple of years and they won't even be able to tell which leg was ever broken. Truly Amazing!

Getting back into our regular routine and acting so much more ourselves...
In case you are wondering, No, Casey can't walk yet. He tries to crawl, but after a few "steps" he ends up dragging his left leg. His spirits are good, as always, and he continues to try new things and figure out what he can and cannot yet do. He'll be up and running before we know it!! He has loved his baths, spending an hour or more in the second one he took, splashing and kicking his legs! It does my heart good to see him happy and being my baby again.



They had to "saw" up both sides of each leg of his cast and then they had a tool to pry it apart and then voila it just sort of popped off. I bought Casey a new Bob the Builder DVD for distraction, but it didn't really work. The nice nurse did show us on her hand that the "saw" didn't hurt, but it was loud and scary and not feeling the cast was pretty scary too!

Casey does say his leg hurts a little in certain postions, but we adjust and are heading out on this new adventure in our lives with our little ones.
