NO MORE CAST BABY!


This last Thursday Braxton and I went in for another follow-up appointment. Let me just tell you the week before this appointment Braxton decided he was done with this cast. He started peeing and pooping in it. It was horrible!! That cast smelled horrible and I seriously tried everything, including Lysol all over it. As I was carrying him in the doctor's office all I could think was this doctor has to do something because I am a NEAT freak and I cannot take it anymore. Seriously people when I get home from working at the hospital I HAVE to shower before Braxton can even touch me, I take hand sanitizer everywhere including next to my bed, and I wash my hands constantly. I may have an issue, but that is besides the point. I am clean and I could no longer stand that my own child smelled like this. It was out of my control. Well anyways we get in and I explain this to the nurse and she was like oh I know these casts are such a pain blah blah blah. But my amazing doctor walks in and says no worries lets just get rid of it. I wasn't expecting that at all. 4 Week and 2 days, man my son is a champ! I didn't think he would get it off till atleast 5, but sister is not complaining. The worst part was the loud cast cuter. It took a while for Braxton to get use to it, but I just explained it was like Handy Manny's power tool and then it was cool. It took a while to get the cast off and when it did come off I wasn't expecting Braxton's reaction. He was bawling, the same way he did when he broke the dang thing. He actually cried to have him put it back on. Seriously broke my heart right there. Once we got home we took it easy. Braxton is really sore, but by the end of the evening he was sitting up. Everyday is a new improvement. He hasn't started walking on his own yet, but does take steps. He has gotten a couple baths which has been wonderful!!! He smells so wonderful again and I will never take baths for granted. My favorite thing is just holding him again and feeling his little legs wrapped around my waist. Man its the little things. You honestly don't know how much you miss something until its gone. I am just so proud of my Braxton. He is amazing and he makes me so proud. I love him more than he will ever know, but I would appreciate it is this is the last broken bone:)

I also just want to personally thank everyone for everything they did for us. For your prayers, your cards, your gifts, your time. It all means sooo much. We have such an amazing support system and we wouldn't have made it through this without you all!

THANKS!
