Today was D-Day. The day that I have been counting down to for the last 5+ weeks. Don't get me wrong. The last 5 weeks have been peachy (for the most part). But I have been so antsy for today to get here.
My darling daughter (while annoyed with me for taking her picture) is cast free.
The dr sat with us while one of the technicians took her green (very disgusting) cast off so he could get a look at her arm before shipping us off for more x-rays. So they cut through it and cut off all the gauze and padding and everything and then we all just sat there...stunned. Her doctor looked at us and said "You know I've been doing this a long time. I've seen a lot of kids with a lot of casts. I thought I'd seen everything."
There was grass inside her cast. (What?!!) My sweet, sweet child who loves to play outside and dig around in the dirt doing who-knows-what, managed to somehow get grass inside her cast. I just sat there shaking my head, thinking "well, at least there weren't any bugs or rocks or anything in there."
Buuuttt...she's cast free now. Woo-hooooo! (I'm very excited!) She has to keep the brace on for a few more weeks but that is something we can work with. No more having to cover her arm in grocery bags and tape for baths. No more me having to wash her hair or tie her shoes. (My back will be so thankful.) No more finding straws laying everywhere because her arm was itchy. :)
She's a little disappointed that she can't go back to sports-type stuff for a good while, but she's much happier. And that just makes me happy.
So, again, happy Thursday! Hope all is well for you & yours! Much love <3
