Cast is Off!

This last week Christian had a check up for his broken bone. It had been a whole month since he got it on and he was excited to switch to a smaller cast. The original plan was that he would have a half length cast on for a couple more weeks. However, they did some x-rays and they said his arm looked great.

When Rebecca asked him what he was most excited about now that his cast was off his response was that he would be able to go swimming. He really missed out on that this past summer. We did swimming a few times at the lake where we go fishing, there was the swimming pool at the hotel when we went to DC, and there was a lake at the family reunion. Even though he missed out on all of those things, he never once complained about his cast. He didn't even once say that his arm itched or ached and I remember when I had my cast on those things bothered me a lot! He didn't hold any grudges toward Ethan for pushing him off the couch. And, he even kept it clean enough that it never got smelly. We did end up all going to the swimming pool on Friday.






The next day we went to the tailgating party for the first football game of the season for ISU. They had some bouncy houses and I was sure Christian was going to get another broken bone the way he was jumping around.
