Goodbye lime green cast!  Although you are adorable, we hope we don’t have to see you again…ever!!  In a long-shot effort, I called the pediatric orthopedic office to see if possibly we could come in a couple days early to have Morgan’s cast removed and wrist x-rays taken.  I just know how excited Morgan is to be in Aunt Jenn’s wedding on Saturday wearing a beautiful dress that she LOVES.  Having a hard cast on, albeit the appropriate color for the wedding, was just not the flattering look she was going for!  The worst they could say is NO right!?  Well they said YES!  Woo hoo!  I picked up Morgan mid-morning from school and within 30 minutes, that bright accessory was sawed right off of that cute arm of hers.  She doesn’t even flinch at that loud machine and small circular saw anymore…I mean she is the expert now…4th time she’s done this routine!

Look at this happy girl!  sidenote:  she had lime green rubberbands put on her braces yesterday to match the wedding too.  so cute!

After the x-rays, the nurse told us she would definitely like to see more healing but she did not think she needed another cast.  So we have 3 weeks with a splint that can be removed for the wedding and pictures…then right back on.  This is all I could ask for and I’m so glad I decided to call.  Morgan, I know how much you are looking forward to the special day ahead and you are going to look drop-dead gorgeous.  I’m so proud of your positive attitude and being such a trooper during your recovery.  Now…BE CAREFUL for heaven’s sake!!

XOXO,

Mom
