Max and his new/old arm

1 September, 2009

Max got his cast off.


It was only the second day of school (of kindergarten), but he had to miss for this very important moment.

Here goes the special saw....


She then used some clamps to pry it open and then some scissors to finish cutting the inner material.
(I've never seen this before!)


Here's the new/old arm all healed and ready to get back to playing!



It was funny, but it took him awhile to get used to using it again. For the first few hours, he let it hang to his side and continued trying to do everything with only one arm. I'm sure it felt strange to worry about the extra limb again.

But, he has adjusted just fine and everything looks great!

Way to go Max!!!

One broken bone down.....

how many more to go???!!!!!

Good for Max! I hope there aren't many more broken bones to go, for your sake! He's such a cutie and I love those green shoes!

Today, Carly and I were reading a book about a boy who broke his arm. She was very curious about how they would get the cast off. It was fun to learn about it with her from these pics. Thanks for sharing. Glad he's good as new!

That's so exciting! I bet he's super excited to have his arm back! Here's hoping that's the last one for awhile. . .
