Well Embers second cast was not doing so hot after a couple of days. Noticed it seemed to be getting lower on her arm and her fingers at the tips slowly were receeding into the cast until finally this morning you could not reach them with your finger.
So after a couple of phone calls we went into the Orthopedics office first thing this morning. Got in after a couple of minutes. Then there was the un-pleasant task of having her current cast sawed off. She was not too pleased with the saw. It was very very loud. Once it was off having the new one put on did not seem to bother her.
Pretty confidant this new one should stay in place for the next week and a half until it would come off anyway. The very nice man who put this cast on said he had been doing it for 30 years. He said to keep the arm casts on the little ones like Ember you needed to make the hand into a lovely club. So this one is a bit bulkier then the other 2 and a little higher up on the upper arm.
We forgot to bring the camera so some shots with Momma's phone.
