It's off!

Mason's spica cast is OFF! He has legs again... He can wear pants again, and best of all... I can hold him and carry him and cuddle him again! AHHHH BLISS!

We arrived at Cabrini at 7am, filled out some paper work and then were admitted around 7:30. By 8am, Mason was in the operating room getting his cast removed! They did more x-rays and everything looked great! The Dr. did however inform us that Mason should bear no weight on his leg for the next two weeks... We should continue to take it easy. This is going to be difficult, but not as hard as the past four weeks have been. At least since he isn't double his weight anymore, we can come and go as we please! By 8:45am mason was in recovery and by 9am was waking from the anesthetic. He was miserable when he woke and cried for about an hour. Finally he settled down, had lots to eat and drink and we were discharged at 11:15. When we arrived home, we gave him a bath and then he wanted to go to sleep. He slept from 12:15 to 3:30pm, and so did I!!! We took it easy when he woke up, but we really wanted to crawl, which I had to discourage. He did enjoying rolling around though! He ate, dinner, played some more, and then took another bath and went to sleep by 7pm! So nice to have my Mason back! looking forward to getting back into the swing of things over the next month!

Here are a few highlights from our day!
