From Purple to Pink

I saw the Pediatric Orthopedic Doctor today at Texas Children's. More on that at the end of this blog. First here are some pictures of my time at the mall with my granddaddy earlier in the week.

Now for my doctor visit today. I saw a lot of other kids with boo boo's similar to mine. The doctor gave me a baby doll to play with. I worked with the doctor to put a cast on the baby doll. It helped me to understand what they were going to do with me.

They took off my purple splint and put on a hot pink full leg hard cast. I only have to wear it for 2 weeks! Yea, I will have it off before Christmas and no therapy afterwards either. Yea!

Luckily, it is a walking cast. They put a small shoe on my cast to help me walk.

I didn't want to walk at the doctor's office. I was still scared.

After we got home, I crashed from my hard morning for a long 3 hour nap. Afterwards, mommy took me to see my friends and teachers at school for a few minutes. I am not going to school for a while till I learn how to walk with this thing. I am going to continue to stay home with my Granddaddy.

People have started to sign my cast.

After dinner, I tried to walk. I can walk with someone holding my hand. I am having to practice like I am a baby again just learning to walk. It is hard to walk with your leg straight. Every once in a while I can let go of my parent's hands and walk a few steps by myself. I am very wobbly though. By the end of the week I bet I get the hang of it. Here is a video of me trying to walk.
