Thrilled would be an understatement in trying to describe how Jackson felt about getting his cast off. He was incredibly patient over these past 7 weeks and I don't think that the full arm cast really slowed him down at all. That being said about a week before his cast came off I noticed that he began putting check marks on our family calendar. When I inquired as to why he was doing this he said so that he could count the days until his next doctor's appointment. What a trooper. He wasn't complaining to me but just quietly counting down. It was like Christmas morning though on October 26th when he woke up. I am just glad that we had an 8:15am appointment! His arm is slightly deformed still but the orthopedist assures us that this will continue to straighten. The orthopedist also told us that the next 2-3 weeks are a critical time and to try and remind him to be careful and not fall down! Are you kidding? The boy is 7 years old. He falls down walking into the next room. Wish us luck!
Oh, notice the cute Tiger Cub uniform? Sewn patches are courtesy of my ever talented Mom and no we don't dress him in the uniform daily. He had a pack meeting that day. :)
