Two weeks ago when Peanut got her cast, they put a slit the whole length of her cast to allow for swelling because of the surgery. She wore a sling full time the first week, except for naps and bedtime to keep her arm as elevated as she could. The second week she didn't wear it as much. Yesterday she had her 2 week checkup and xrays show that there has been no shifting so they went ahead and wrapped up her cast in a bright neon pink to close the slit in the cast. She doesn't need to wear her sling if she doesn't want to, so now she's walking around sporting her new pink fashion.
She will be like this for three weeks, then she will have another surgery to remove the cast and pins if the the xrays look good at that time. After that she will need a splint, but I don't know yet what that all is and how long she will need that. Please pray for patience for her. Kids seem to adapt so well, but there are times she gets really frustrated and has a hard time sleeping comfortably. Thanks for checking in with us.
