1st Round done

So we got to take off the first round of the serial casting and give him a bath the night before he gets his second round of casting done by the physical therapist. She will put on another set for another week and hopefully that is the end of his serial casting this time. If not up to 4 weeks I guess is what they might do. Dad was a great cast taker offer and he was sooooo happy!.

And Hayden was soooo happy to have them taken off! He really did good with them though but they were a little clumpy.


He had forgotten what his legs and feet looked and felt like so he had to check them out!
And at last a very happy cast-free kid (for the night). Oh, and if you noticed that he has not had a haircut for a while that is because we forgot to go get it cut for a while and like the curls. I must say he looks so different but we like it. And he doesn't have to worry about mom cuts for a while!

Something that is so exciting is happening with all of this. He uses his walker to get places in the house and turns it on his own. He is realizing that he is more stable and tries to balance and he has TAKEN MORE STEPS!!!!! He just has to learn how to hold himself upright with his trunk muscles, use his legs more for power and he will probably be off. I guess he is week without the casts and so when he gets them off it might take a little time to do what he is doing now with them but he loves being up!
