Yay... the cast is FINALLY off!!!! I'm not sure who is more excited- Jackson or me. I think Jackson was excited because now he can run, play, swim, go to the bathroom by himself, wear pants without having them stuck to his leg, being able to take his pants & pajamas off without having to fight the cast, WALKING, wearing his new running shoes so he can run again, being active, and did I mention WALKING, which means, not having to be carried by Mom or Dad anymore. (as you can tell, these reasons are for both of us) :) Jackson was anxious to get his cast off and did great while the guy cut it off with a special saw & then cut the material inside. Jackson didn't cry at all & just said that it tickled. As you can tell in the picture, Jackson wore right through the bottom & heel of the cast. We are definatly ready for it to be off.
Yay it's off! Look at that cute leg, and it wasn't as dirty as I thought it would be. We went home & Brian gave Jackson a nice warm bath, and hopefully in a couple of days Jackson will be running around again. Right now his leg is so sensitive from being in one position for the last 5 1/2 weeks that it hurts to move it, or put pressure on it. Each day gets better & he's able to move around more. He has been so patient while it has been on, & has been such a little sweetheart. Hopefully no more breaks for a while.
