Castless

It's OFF! Yes! We went into the base hospital this morning to get Luke's cast cut off and some more x-rays. Well everything looks great, the bone has healed and he is all good! Well, physically anyways. The boy started crying before she cut off his cast. He cried afterwards, he cried before and after the x-rays (during them he was really good). He cried in the room waiting for the doctor. Luke kept saying he wants his cast back on. He said his arm felt weird and he thought it had a big bump. That was the bend in his wrist. He won't hold his arm 'normal". Bless his heart, he is honestly quite freaked out about it all. The doc gave him a brace to wear when he is running around but other then that he is supposed to not wear it. Luke wants it on, he is afraid to have it off. I told him he can wear it for most of today and then tomorrow we start taking it off like the doc said to. He agreed, for now anyways, tomorrow is another day...

When we got home I washed and washed his arm. It was stinky and it was dirty! There are a few red sore spots but not too bad. I put lotion on and then he was ready for his pics:

It will be interesting to see how he will handle all of this. The brace is just for physical stuff for the next 3 weeks or so. Then he is done! Luke can play Upward Basketball with no problem!! He was VERY happy about that! Luke was also glad to hear that playing video games is good therapy for his wrist. The doc wants him to play to Playstation! We'll have to fit that in I guess, doctor's orders and all...
