Prince - Broken Leg update

As you might know Prince broke his leg. So for the last 3 weeks he has had a cast up to his thigh that he is not supposed to walk with. I guess they did what they thought would keep him off of it, they bent his leg at the knee. It did not work.

He seriously walked off part of his cast!

On Monday we had an appointment to get his cast removed and he would get what they call a "half cast". Just a cast on half of his leg. This of course is saying the xrays look good.

We got there got his xrays and got his cast removed. 

He did pretty good. This guy was the same one that put his cast on. So he remembered him and was cool with him. He did have to rock out to his music to tune out the saw. 

The nurse washed off his leg with warm alcohol and water solution. Prince did okay. He really didn't mind it actually. Just weird. I will say this much, when a cast is removed do not let your child itch their leg. Prince now has a major rash and irritation. Hopefully it will not bother him with the new cast. Live and learn. I had no idea. 

He is showing off his cast.. He wanted to save it for Daddy... So that is what we will do!  We had to wait for the folks to get back from lunch to get his new cast. So we waited....

And waited.... Thank goodness for dummies and stickers. You know the Military Motto "Hurry up and wait!"

There we go! I guess they restocked colors because this time we were able to get BLUE instead of Royal Blue! 

The doc (dude to the left of the pic) gave me the results of his xray at this point. From what he stated, they look good and he is happy with his progression. He also said that because Prince is not good with his communication that he wants to put the half cast. I feel better having that on his leg anyway. 

This is a two week cast. Which is perfect because Daddy will be home shortly after it is off! YAY! 

There you have it! We are able to go back to our regular lives. No jumping off the couch though!
