Not sure if anyone really checks this anymore, but for my own records I'm gonna write Leah's progress!
The cast was put on at 2:00 today! I was so nervous about them putting it on her, thankfully it went REALLY well! Leah only cried twice for very short periods of time! I was thrilled!!
After the cast was finished she wanted to walk around. So I put her down and she walked away and proceeded to fall...which made us all really nervous! She only fell that once, so that was good. She was great with the cast on and didn't complain at all.
The rest of the afternoon we went to go get ice cream and went to the park. It was great, Leah did a really good job.
Dinner tonight was very difficult, but Leah was extremely exhausted. She hardly napped today and was tired from the cast, so I didn't force her to work as hard. I did help her put the sandwich in her left hand and she did a nice job getting it into her mouth, except for the supination! Grr! After dinner, she was pretty upset. She would look at me and go "Mama, all done, all done" while showing me the cast. She was really tired so I put her to bed early and she didn't fight me one bit.
I'm hoping tomorrow is a bit easier for her, she is a bit frustrated but I'm hoping with a good nights sleep things with be ok.
I'm so proud of her and how she is reacting. It's great to see!

I am still here reading! Go Leah! I am so glad to hear that the casting went OK and that she is already starting to be able to feed herself. I saw your status earlier that today was a rough day. I hope things go OK. I am thinking of you
Still here, too, of course! I am glad that casting went OK, too, and that is awesome that she is able to feed herself. That's a skill we're always working on, too.
I am TOTALLY still reading :o)
Glad things are going well. What a cuties she is! Amazing she is feeding herself already. Can't wait to see more pictures and videos!
