Blue cast, Red cast -- a cast to walk on!

X-man got his blue cast cut off this afternoon. The X-rays looked amazing in comparison to two weeks ago. Hooray for youth! 

He is now in a red cast. And as of tomorrow morning, he'll be allowed to walk on it wearing a special cast boot (XS Adult -- so I'm pretty sure his feet are almost as big as Libbygirl's :-). 

Then on August 24th, we go back in and get the red cast cut off, another x-ray -- and hopefully he'll be up and running. Which means, I'm going to take my kid to the pool for a LOT of swimming that last weekend in August. He can roll in sandboxes, run through sprinklers, play baseball on a real diamond... anyone wanna come with us?

Great News! We would love to join you for a little post-cast fun. I also can't wait to start getting Xander's shoes at the swaps.

yep, he might be swapping shoes with her soon :) GREAT news. SO glad he is good to walk. It is quite amazing how quickly little ones heal!
