Cast #3

April 17, 2009---Anna Catherine had a great check-up at the ortho today. Her arm is healing nicely so they removed the blue above-the-elbow cast. Anna Catherine said it tickled. When they removed her cast, her arm was a yellow-green hue and smelled terrible. We eagerly washed her arm with soap and water but it still had an odor. She said her arm was itchy and I meant to put lotion on it before Dr. Robbins but cast#3 on but I forgot. Hope the itching isn't too bad :)

It was replaced with a below-the-elbow waterproof cast. Dr. Robbins needed an extra set of hands and AC was happy to help.

This time AC opted for a glow-in-the-dark cast. It appears to be a yellowy white but glows a green color in the dark. Did I mention the cast is waterproof too?!?!?! She can take showers on her own and not worry about it. So awesome!!!!!!

After her doctor's appointment we drove to Pontotoc so the kids could stay at Grandmother's house while Rick and I had a kid-free weekend with friends in Oxford. The kids went to a cousin's birthday party on Saturday and AC was able to have this cast signed by family members.

Hopefully she'll only have to wear this one for two weeks.
