Defying The Odds or What Are Those Crutches For?

Everyone says, the number of weeks in a cast equals the number of weeks before they can walk again. Not this child.

7 weeks serial casted above the knee
12 days post casting (with AFO on)

Pictures, pictures, pictures!

Thought I would add some photos of St Louis.

First cast off.


Looking better!


Next cast - purple!


Hanging with his buddy at bedtime


A trip to the zoo


Come see the apes...heeheehee


Second cast off - looking even better!


Orange casts!



At the Cardinals game


Matthew and the Beanstock at the Magic House


Caching in Tower Grove Park - he actually got close enough to touch the turtle before it jumped back in the pond


This is our bed at Ronald McDonald House, and this is how he slept. I didn't get much room!


The Mississippi River. Notice the blue cast (forgot my camera for cast change day) this was the cast that made all the difference.


At the Arch


City Museum crawling to the roof


Crawling through another area. Lucky me, I got to follow carrying the camera and the crutches.


Half our room at Ronald McDonald House


The other half


Nothing like being in your own bed. Yes, that is a pink sparkly unicorn..his pick from the wonderful people at Build-A-Bear who visited at Ronald McDonald House.

FEEDJIT Live

Gosh, I really wish I had the time to play with my blog, make it all pretty like all my friends blogs, find the cool gadgets and widgets (ok, truth be told I don't even know what a widget is) but is seems that when I sit down with some time, I get lost in blog world following white rabbits and before I know it, I am far away and it is past my bedtime.

One gadget (or is it a widget?) that I am enjoying is FEEDJIT Live I am fascinated when I get hits all over the globe. Even more interesting is how they find my blog. Seems that a lot of people out there are searching for blogs that have information on leg casts, full leg casts and serial casting.

I am a half full kinda gal and I imagine those hits are other moms out there who are maybe just finding out that their child is going to be needing this kind of treatment and maybe by having my journal here, they can gather some information and maybe some comfort in knowing that they are not alone in this journey.

Isn't that what all of us bloggers want? Knowing that our lives may be far apart, but intertwined none the less? And knowing we are not alone is the best feeling in the world, blog or otherwise.
