The Cast is Off - Hurray!!

This brave young man sat perfectly still and had a smile the whole time his cast was being removed.  It took about 10 minutes, but the only thing he ever said was that his arm was hot.  Way to sit still Ev!  I forgot to get an after shot, but I did snap some before and during pics.  I have a feeling this will not be our last cast experience, but one can hope!

 Waiting for the Dr.

 The process begins


 Almost done, just need to cut the sock and Everett will have his arm back.  I thought cutting the sock would be the easiest part, but it seemed to bother Everett the most.  The whole time the Dr. cut the sock off Everett kept saying "owe".  I think the metal rubbing on his already irrated skin didn't feel very good, but it's done now and we've already enjoyed the sandbox and the pool.  Hurray for no cast, modern medicine, and a healed wrist!  The body is truly incredible.
