Braxton has been doing awesome and I am so proud of him. Today we went for our followup appointment and I was a nervous nelly (that's a word right). Anyways the doctor looked at the X-Ray and informed us the bone has not moved! WONDERFUL! It also is showing that it is starting to heal. I am soo happy! Braxton should be losing the cast in about 3 weeks. I cannot wait. I think we all hate that cast, but let me just inform you on some funnies that we have had with it. First of all I get out of breath carrying Braxton up the stairs to his bedroom. That cast is so heavy. The other night I took him up and he wanted to sing our prayer, I was gasping for breath trying to sing. My son just looked at me like I was crazy, but seriously that cast gives me a workout. Also it's getting colder out so we had to find pants that fit over the cast. I ended up buying size boys 8-10 pants. Seriously they are huge, but they work. Here is the issue with them though, every time we have to put Braxton in the car we have to pull the pants down because you cannot buckle him because of the bar in his cast. Therefore, you are in the parking lot pulling your child's pants down and 9 times out of 10 his diaper will fall off exposing our poor child's private areas to anyone who cares to see. He seriously always yells at me, "Mommy my diaper, my butt is showing." I always laugh, but then I am also dying just to keep the kid in my arms because like I said I am carrying a lot of extra weight. One positive thing about this cast is Braxton has fully become potty trained even through this monster of a cast. He poops on the toliet still (which is truly an entertaining experience if you ever witness it, but for the sake of my child's privacy I will keep it to myself) and pees in a urinal. It is so funny in the middle of the night when he has to pee I can hear him yell Mommy grab the urinal, it isn't even I have to pee. He is a pro I am telling you. I don't enjoy it though and I cannot wait to we go back to just using the ordinary toilet. Lastly, whenever we go out to eat or to a friends house, we have to bring pillows. Your normal booster chair or high chair just doesn't cut it. We went to Applebees the other night and I am carrying my body pillow likes its normal and the hostess goes um are you guys sleeping over tonight? Hilarious right? I really wanted to say No jerk my son's leg is broken have some sympathy, but I just smiled and laughed.
I really cannot believe how much our routine has changed because of this stupid cast and when the day comes when its gone I am seriously having a party and every one is welcome to come! I hate that cast more than anything and I hate that it is on my favorite little boy. I have to say though it takes more than that cast to stop my child. Yesterday he started crawling. I couldn't even believe how awesome he does it. He is going to have some serious arm muscles when this is said and done. He just amazes me at how he wont quit. If he wants it he is going to do it. Makes me so proud.
Since Braxton isn't quitting neither am I. The week I missed at school seriously killed me as far as catching up, not to mention I was completely sleep deprived. I have been busting my butt and I am starting to feel so much better. Thank God for not giving up on me.
Our Life may be crazy, but we stick together through it and that's what I love about my family. We keep fighting. I love my boys more than anything and without them I don't know what I would do.
