On April 23 the boys got their so wanted walking casts! Now the process of getting the old casts off and the new casts on was quiet an experience as my two warriors (including me) found out only on that day that both had two pins in their ankles that needed to be removed. It was also a tad terrifying to see the actual surgery incisions but thanks to Sam who had the job to change the casts and pull the pins out it went fairly smoothly.
Dr. Shaw told the boys he did not tell them about the pins so they would not worry about it and I admit I was glad I did not know either!
Now for the two weeks after they were allowed to put weight in their feet but still assisted by crutches. After that, Connor and Aleander were told, they can walk without crutches. Ironically both are afraid to put weight on their feet even at the two week mark.
Right now we are facing a new battle, smaller but still keeps me in edge, as of this Saturday Alexander ran a fever of 103 and complaining of a sore throat and stuffy nose. I tried to isolate him and we got the fever down by Sunday afternoon but as of this am Connor is feeling yucky and telling me he has a sore throat. Do off to calling the doctor this am and hoping it is just a cold!
