Before and After

Before:
After a week of a soft cast and 3 weeks of a hard blue cast, J was ready to get it off.

After:
Another x-ray to make sure that everything was ok, which was the worst part and J did not want to do it. We think that he associates the x-ray with pain when it first happened. Then they cut off the cast, pulled out the pins, and put on a blue bandage. He will wear this for a day and then he will just need bandaids where the pins were for a week or so. Then he will be almost good. He will get good movement in a month and then full movement in about 2 months. He's got a pretty good rash where the cast was, but I think he can handle that with some cream and ti will be way better than the cast. In one more month we have to go up to Primary Children's to make sure all is well. We hope that we don't have to do this again.
