Cast Removal

After 30 days it was time, time to get Hollister's cast off. Part of me thinks it took forever, part of me thinks the month flew by.

May 21st, the day he got his cast put on. See the beautiful baby blue color?

June 21st... Check out the difference!!!!!

 Hollister had his classmates sign the last day of school. Most of those are faded now.

Daddy made sure his was deep and dark and stayed forever.

 This was from the ear Dr. the day of his surgery. There's a K in the middle for Kemper, his last name.

 Really hard to see, but this was Mrs. Geiser, his kindergarten teacher. She was the very first to sign his cast.

So, the removal process. The nurses were awesome. They explained everything first because this is a saw and it was loud.

 Pliers to take the cast apart.

                                                  The whole process toook about 5-7 minutes.
                                                                     No more cast!

                                                And, the dirty cast. Yes, we get to keep it!

Next, they took xrays, then we saw the Dr.

Everything looked good and healed. We will see him in six months just to see how his growth is progressing. He had to take it easy through the weekend and then full steam ahead. He was a little sore for the first day and still held his arm like the cast was on, but now, all is well and he is running around like a boy with lots of pent up energy!

So, as we were leaving, we passed The Ronald McDonald House. The boys saw the actual "Ronald McDonald" and were thrilled!!! They had to take pictures with the owner of their favorite french fry place.
