It's Off!!!!!!!!!

We woke up this morning excited to get to the doctors office and get the cast off. Wesley smiled the whole way to the office. And then............


The nurse pulled out "the saw". Wesley was a little nervous, as you can tell in the pic, but did really well. I explained what was going to happen and he relaxed and cooperated very well.


He was smiling once the nurse got going, so I kept thinking, "man he is really being brave!" When we got out to the car, I asked him if he thought the saw was cool, and he said no. He said it was scary. You never would have known he was scared in the office.

I think the little saw scared Aubrey more than it did Wesley. She just sat there and watched, wide eyed, not knowing what to think of it all.

Once the nurse finished sawing, she used this nifty tool to open up the cast.

Then she had to use scissors to cut through part of the wrap.

And finally, she began peeling it apart!

Almost there....................

Ahhhh.........And it is finally off. But Wesley wasn't to sure about it. He says it still hurts and is very careful in the way he moves it. The doctor said that it is normal and that he would probably be more sensitive for a couple of days. Wesley told me on our way home that he wanted the cast back on. Ha! Yea right! We shall see how he feels about it in a couple of days.

He had to have one more set of x-rays. Everything looks great and normal, according to the doctor. And Wesley got treats for being a good sport. So, now he just has to be really careful not to fall on that arm again for the next three weeks or so.

Aubrey got a treat also, and boy was she happy about it!
