I am alive and well...and cast-free!!

I know that all of you avid readers are very disappointed that my mom has not updated our blog...but I am here to let you know that life with a cast is over! It was quite an adventure...as you will see.

This is me the day after I got my cast on. The drugs were amazing!

I had to focus on other things...so I got creative with my hair and figured out it could fit in a ponytail right on top of my head!

Thank goodness the hospital sent me home with so many pillows because I had to use them all the time. I was situated neither sitting up nor laying down... but I got used to it.

My friend Eden could not let me have all of the pink cast fun...so she burned her hand on the fireplace and joined the pink cast fan club. (I don't recommend it.)

The hospital also gave me this ghetto fabulous car seat because my legs were casted too wide to fit into any normal car seat. I loved this because my mom had to take me out to get anything done...like grocery shopping. She would either carry me, or lay me in the bottom of the cart to gnaw on anything that got within reach.

Bedtime! You see? More pillows always do the trick...and why is my mom taking pictures of me in bed? It is like she wanted to remember every single thing...weird!
This was the bath routine. On the counter in mom's bathroom as many times a day as possible. Did I mention that my diapers leaked alot inside my cast. Yep. I smelled pretty darn nasty by week two...and I was only less than half way done. I waited until half way into week three to get poop on the inside of my cast. I thought mom was going to lose it.
But the day finally came to get my cast off...and we were all kind of attached. Check out my mom holding me by my bar. I think she thought that was pretty convenient.
And here is my handsome dad bidding farewell to my pink legs. Did I mention I also had an ear infection this day? Lovely!!

Me on the car ride up to primary Children's Hospital thinking..."Such a shame I have to give this car seat back...it matches my eyes so nicely."
No one told me the saw would be so loud...I kind of grew fond of my cast and did not want it to leave. I would no longer have that hot pink accent to go with every outfit.
Inside my cast. Yes that yellow cotton used to be white...and I got the back of my cast a whole lot better than that...thank you very much.
Chicken legs...I did not even know they were my own, and I certainly did not know how to use them. I am starting to figure it out now. I can scoot around again...but am still working on my crawl on all fours. Sitting up was a little challenge...but I have it down pat now.This is me on my first Sunday cast less...and I have had a full and complete bath. I was real happy I did not grow out of these shoes...I might have that hot pink accent with every outfit after all.
Oh, and I forgot to tell you...Happy St. Patty's Day! I celebrated in true style!
Thanks for loving me and praying for me. I love you all too! I better go--I think my mom is waking up from her nap. Can you believe she needs one of those every day?
