Caden enjoying the sand dunes just 2 days before getting the cast off.
Just after taking off the cast. He was screaming and saying he was in pain. Ryan was trying to distract him with a Mario game. We were waiting to get x-rays and for the dr. for quite a while and the whole time he was screaming that he wants the cast back on and he will leave the pins in forever.
The pin in his elbow before they took them out. It was crazy how they just yanked them out with pliers right there in the office.
Here he is cast free and very happy. The elbow is still stiff and he doesn't have full range of motion yet but it should come back within a week. The nerves still aren't working. The dr. wants to wait a month before we have some nerve testing done and start therapy.

Yeah, no cast. Scary that they just yanked the pins out. I couldn't have been in the room. Yikes. It makes me hurt just thinking about it. Ouch! Glad he's doing good. I hope all feeling comes back soon.
Yay! That is so great! I love how happy he is in the last picture. I hope everything goes well when you go back in.
how did he do when the pins got taken out. I still cant believe they take them out right there. WOW! What a brave boy, and parents too!
Im so glad he has his cast off and now can do "more" things....slowly!
What a tough little guy! I bet he loves being able to play his DS! I remember when I got my cast off, I was scared to bend my arm!
