Freedom!

No More Big Pink Cast!!

Well we are happy to report that we DID get to remove the cast on Monday and now besides a small limp that we are assured will go away shortly--the broken leg is healed. Audrey was a little tentative at first to really walk on it, but with her new found freedom she is getting around. I do think she misses NOT being carried everywhere, but we are glad that part is over. They let us keep the cast (I know, why would you want it) and since she had refused any writing or stickering on the cast it still looks as clean and pink as when she got it. Audrey did not want us to bring it home, but I thought she might appreciate seeing it someday.

And as previously reported the first order of business was a bubble bath, followed by a pedicure and then of course another bath. Also a trip to Sephora to try out nail polish and lip gloss. So what follows are a few photos sans-cast and then a few from earlier just to let you know what you CAN do while in a cast.

Enjoy!

Still the cast

We have survived over 3 weeks of a broken leg and a giant pink cast. Tomorrow we go back to the orthopedic physician and hopefully get the good news that the little leg is fully healed--I am ready to be done with the cast. Audrey, though, told me the other day that she wanted to "keep it on." I think she just likes to be in control of everything and will truly be excited to get to run around and up and down stairs (I know I am ready for her to walk a lot more!).

She has gotten pretty good at walking, crawling and even trying a few stairs and free falls onto her bed. I think the leg feels a lot better.

We will update you with new photos if it all goes as planned. The first order of business--a long, long bubble bath and then maybe a shower too and of course a trip to get a pedicure. We can't wait!!
