Footloose and Cast Free

After three long weeks, Eliza's day of freedom finally arrived! It was time to remove her cast. She was a little unsure about the saw at first, but Kevin reassured her that it would only tickle and wouldn't hurt her!

After the cast was removed, she had new X - rays done to make sure that the bone truly was healing. Dr. S was very happy with her progress, but he still wanted her to wear her brace for 3 weeks. He also wanted us to come back in six weeks for a final X - ray check.

As soon as we got home from our appointment, Eliza's favorite swim partner was waiting for her so they could go for a celebratory swim!

We never had a problem with Eliza keeping her brace on . . . . she was such a trooper through it all. Last Thursday we had our final appointment with Dr. S. He was pleased with how her X -rays looked and we have been officially released from his care. She is good as new and wild as ever.
