the cast is off!

It's been a week and a half. I keep forgetting to post about Noah finally getting his cast off after 6 weeks. So, on July 2nd we went in and they got right to work cutting off his green cast, which had only been on for 2 weeks. But believe you me, that is plenty long enough for it to get stinky.

Next they x-rayed it a couple times before the actual doctor came in and declared him *mostly* cured. He said to take it easy for another 3 weeks - no trampoline jumping or bike riding or rough housing. The bone was mostly healed but needed to be free of the cast to finish healing.

Yay! He's free.

The day before I had taken both kids to Target to buy new suits and planned to surprise them after Noah's appointment with their first trip of the summer to the swimming pool. They were extremely excited and happy. And doesn't Noah look great in his toddler sunglasses holding his arm up like it's still broken? It took him a day or so to get used to using it again but he is very careful and I don't have to worry about him going off and breaking it again. Famous last words right? Well, we only have another week and a half before he'll be more officially healed and he can put on his bubble wrap to ride his bike again.
