Buh-Bye Cast

The Boy’s cast came off today. We saw the same doctor and staff at Lenox Baker Children’s Hospital. The assistant promised the really noisy saw would not cut his skin, and even demonstrated it was safe by rubbing it sideways on her hand (convincing trick). It was a fast saw, though, and caused enough friction to make his arm hot. Then an x-ray… bone is healing nicely and now he can wear a removable splint (at school and outdoors) for the next 2 months. His wee arm is pale and thin, but will recover quickly.

In the waiting room, he read a Junie B. Jones book, played another little boy on Nintendo Mario Bros., and watched Scooby Doo. That makes it sound like we waited a long time, but it only took about an hour total.
