The CAST

BEFORE................
DURING.......................
Yes, this part was really, really painful for her because the doc tried to line the bones up....
And AFTER.........................
All the way up her leg................

Can you tell that's an elephant? We have to go back once a week for x-rays. She will eventually go to a shorter cast and then a walking cast. We have not been able to find "crunches" for her (that's what she calls crutches) and we are not sure at the point if she will even be able to use them because if she puts any weight on this leg, the break is diagonal and it would cause a more detrimental break.
As you read this, please pray that this will heal faster than expected so she can swim in Alabama with all her cousins. Also, she still suffers from pain, especially late evening. It is so hard to watch your child hurt and cry out in pain.....my heart breaks for those parents with terminally ill children.
Thanks for your prayers!
