LaRae 1st day of serial casting at duPont.

LaRae had her 1st serial casting on October 5, 2009. They were originally going to do the left elbow first. However, after talking to Dr. Jay he decided to serial cast the right elbow instead. LaRae has been using the left arm a lot more over the last few weeks and that was the reason for the change in elbows.

The casting went well. LaRae tolerated it pretty well for the most part. We had more problems keeping LaRae from helping. They set her elbow at a 45-degree angle. She was not happy when the bent the elbow that far. She does have problems with sleeping at night. We have 11 more appts. to go. It will be a long sleepless 12 weeks for mom. However, if Dr. Jay gets the results he is looking for with LaRae’s elbows it will all be worth it. There is a chance we could due round two of serial casting in the future before her tendon releases. That will all depend on how well it works this time.

Every night the kids say a prayer before going to bed for LaRae’s arms.
