Madison got her cast off today

one last picture of Madison with her

pink sparkly cast

Madison had an xray of her elbow and

wrist to make sure she was ready

for her cast to come off.

Mortin - they warned me she was
going to be sore, that her muscles have
been on "holiday" and it would take a
while for the aches and pains to go away

Madison was a little afraid of the saw i covered her eyes and was able to talk her
through having both sides of her cast cut open

My photographer, Austin must have thought

the saw was cool, I have 20 or so pictures of this

Madison thought the special tool to open the

cast was pretty cool - this is the really stinky part,

she has been in this cast for 1 hot, sweaty month.

Madison remembered the cold sissors

from having her last cast removed

and off it comes

She's free

and swollen, and it took just a few seconds

and Madison was crying - her wrist (the sprain)

was hurting, so we sat in the waiting room for

20 minutes to give the Motrin time to work and see

if she would need a splint for her wrist

Madison decided she would tough it out

hopefully we do not have to make a trip back

to Dr H anytime soon

she's doing great, still favors her right

arm but we will keep an eye on her

I am blogging this while Madison is soaking in the bath, I promised I would let her soak as long as she wanted to, and she could take whatever bath toys she wanted.

Anything to get stink off her.

Dr H told us that Madison could go back to swimming lessons right away. I let her take today off, and she will rejoin her class next week, she is so excited

Well it's been a little over an hour and Madison is finally asking to get out of her bath,so off I go.
