Kyle's cast comes off!


Kyle was soooo happy that he was going to get his cast off! He couldn't wait for them to saw it off this time. Last time they sawed the cast off he was very upset by it. He was really ready and didn't even flinch when the Physcian's Assistant sawed the cast. The P.A. was very impressed with Kyle's calm attitude.

Kyle was watching every thing very intently. The P.A. was excellent. He was very gentle, took his time, and the cast came off very easily. When he pulled the cast off one of the pins was stuck to the cast and that came out with the cast. That kind of freaked me out, but the P.A. said everything was fine.

His poor little arm was peeling and looked shriveled. They took him to the x-ray room before they removed the last pin. Kyle was very protective of his arm and was kind of alarmed by the way it looked. He was afraid to move it into position for the x-rays, so that took some convincing, and then he finally cooperated. He was really brave throughout the whole deal.

The doc showed us on his x-ray Kyle's new bone growth, and that was a REALLY GOOD thing to see! His said his arm was looking great. He took the last pin out and then we were all set to go. We go back in one month for a follow up.
