Up and About

[porphyry]

Andrew got cast #2 cut off on Monday. It was like a miracle--he started walking yesterday, the very next day. What a relief! This cast, though, was a short cast and below the knee, so he never lost knee mobility or muscle tone in his thigh. He crawled and scooted around a lot, keeping his overall flexibility. When he got out of his first cast, a long one, it took us almost two weeks to get him to even stand up.

Thanks! If only all this insurance mess were so simple... but it's nice to have him whole again.

That's wonderful news!

It is! He's very excited he gets to go to a baseball game tonight with his aunt and uncle, and into the pool, and wear two shoes again, and take walks at Cahokia... I do believe the novelty of it and the attention he got from everyone, including strangers, wore off and had little effect on him anymore.

So glad to hear this. (And I had to go back over your past entries to catch up on fracture No. 2; what with the hassle and expense of using Internet cafés in Rome, my friends page reading was very patchy.)

Thank you--I know you've been really busy; I did read your Rome journal. Sounds like it was a wonderful trip.

It is rather nice to be about as normal as we can. :)
