Liam gets his cast off

After 5 weeks in his cast he got it taken off.  It was such a great day!  Liam was so excited and has been looking forward to this day for so long.  They could see new bone growth from the x-ray.  He got a boot that he has to wear for two weeks, but the third week he only needs to wear it at school.    

Liam's new cast

We took Liam to the orthopedic doctor for his follow up appointment.  They removed his old cast and put a new slightly lower waterproof red cast on his leg.  He picked out the color red and they even added some gold sparkle.  His aunt JoAnn and Uncle Dominic sent him the cutest cookie arrangement that said "A Speedy Recovery".  While we were at the doctor the therapist came to show Liam how to use a walker.  They showed him how to walk without putting any pressure on his broken leg.  I was amazed at how fast he picked it up.  We ordered his walker and will get it in a few days.  Liam has handled his broken leg very well and we are so proud of him.  We hope his next appointment on Feb 11th goes well and they give him a walking cast.
