(see all of Eli’s meds on the counter there?) Smile

So we are officially out of the cast and into a splint that she can wear during the day but take off at night.  She will wear this for 3 weeks, and will still need to refrain from doing much active play to keep it safe. 

We kept the cast and boy does it stink! 

In other news we have had yet ANOTHER snow day today….I’m getting stir crazy, although I was driving today and the roads are manageable in a 4WD.  Hannah and I were supposed to leave tomorrow and take a train down to visit my new niece Charlotte…but we decided to wait a couple more weeks. 

Here are a few more pictures from our morning.  The man who took Hannah’s cast off asked her if her mom always takes so many pictures.  Why, YES she does!  Especially if it’s something as important as getting a cast off!Smile

Ahh! I've never had a broken bone and don't want one after seeing the cast being removed! Looks like you have a very brave girl!

Jenny said...

Oh gosh. Ouch. Poor little thing. Try spraying the cast with lysol and putting it in the sun for a day or two (if you have any this time of year) Her smile is so happy. What a trying time for you all.

Helene said...

I love that huge smile on her face as the cast is being cut off! She is one brave girl!!

She looks so cute and so brave in these pictures. We have yet to break a bone in this house, but she's a great example!

Apparently, you must have all of our Minnesota snow, because I can see grass from my window :)

Bliss said...

I bet it felt great for that cast to come off! She was so brave and looks fascinated by the process of them removing. it.
