Moving on up!

Wow! It's been a while for me on here. I just can't keep up anymore! It's a struggle. HA HA!

Anyways, our little man just got cast #4 applied last week (September 26). We've been taking him to a local hospital to get the old cast cut off and he's been going about a week without them which is actually really good. We could go longer but that just means to longer he will have to wear the cast.

He doesn't like the noise of the cast cutter but as soon as it is over he feels like a new little boy. He looks like such a little baby without his cast. It is so cute!

 

When we went for pre-op on the 25th Dr. Pete told us that he can physically see that Camden's back isn't perfectly straight so therefore if he can see it he knows it isn't time for an x-ray. He told us hope 4 or 5 more cast and then it will be x-ray time! That means we are HALF WAY there! Phew! I feel like we just started this whole process but we are 4 down. It's crazy! I'm hoping that it will be sooner but all I can really do at this point is pray.

Camden has done so well with his cast and it just amazes me more and more every single day.

When we went in for cast #4 everything was fine and dandy! He was a little ill when we first woke up because he was hungry but he had some water to hold him off until after the cast was done. They took him back to get started about 7:45. This time was later than normally because Dr. Pete was a little behind. Once he got back we ate some breakfast and about 11:00 they brought him out and we finally got to see him. As soon as he saw me he go upset because he wanted me to hold him and to feed him.

He really isn't on a bottle but he is for this especially since he is starving after he wakes up. He downed it, and then got worked up enough for it to all come back up which was upsetting to me. He was VERY sleepy once he woke up and he is NEVER like that. We took him to get his cast trimmed and get it wrapped in a color and he DID NOT like that fact that I laid him down. He wanted me to hold him and even when I was holding him he still wasn't happy.

This is one thing that really gets to me. When he is crying and crying and I can't do anything to help it.

He normally LOVES his wagon and he wanted NOTHING to do with it at this point. We finally got him back to himself and the nurse was ready to release us. He was still so sleepy but that would eventually wear off(hopefully).

We finally got home and Camden was very clingy the rest of the day and this mommy needed a break.

He went to sleep that night and woke up Friday morning about 9:00 and was pretty much back to himself. He's been a trooper and I am very proud of him!
