The Cast is OFF!!!

Well after 6 weeks of patience Lizzy got her cast off. After about 2 weeks the "fun" of being casted had worn off. She was a bit nervous as they started to "saw" the cast off but was reassured that they could not cut her. They were patient and were great every step of they way.

Whew it's off!! She was excited to try and move her fingers and wrist. In this photo she is looking and laughing at the gunk between her fingers and the lovely aroma. Her friend Amber is beside her but quickly backed away as the smell came to her nose.
What a lovely sight left under the cast. I took this photo as we were waiting to get an x-ray to make sure the growth plate looked ok. And sure enough the doctor was pleased with the results. We have to x-ray it in December to check the growth plate and no "ball" sports for another 3 weeks. She is just happy to go swimming again and to get some biking in before the snow comes. Yes I said snow and will cover that topic in another post soon.

Other than that all is well. Can't believe how long it's been between posts I have some making up to do.
