We got an updated cast today - and this time it is green!
We went into Children's this AM and they took another x ray of Cole's leg. They were pleased that the bone hasn't shifted and as a result they overlayed his cast to close up the split they had previously made to accommodate swelling.
Cole was such a trooper. He really is doing so well with all of this. Much better than mamma. The doctor gave us an appointment three weeks out for his cast removal. Then it appears Cole will have to be in a boot for an additional two weeks. We are so thankful that we can get the cast off before our beach vacation with friends - cast and sand do not mix! The doctor said with the boot Cole will be able to take it off to muck in the sand or water - whew!
Cole has permission to bear weight on his leg right now but he is very hesitant and wants to be carried. I am hoping he can become a bit more mobile soon as my back is killing me...this boy is heavy! Right now if he really wants to move around by himself he is crawling / scooting around the house dragging his leg behind him. It is kind of cute and pathetic all at the same time!
Now that he has an official cast though we had to have a little fun signing it. He is excited to get more signatures over the next few weeks.
