Week 2 of LaRae's Serial Casting at duPont

Week 2 of LaRae’s serial casting. We headed to DuPont on Monday October 12, 2009. The kids had off from school. I took Adrian with me - he was a big help. Quintin was home also so he had Q and McKayla with him.

They started by sawing off the old cast which LaRae did not like at all. It was loud and the vibration of the saw wasn’t great at all!!!! So that’s were our nightmare begun… Then they started to recast eminently. She never stopped screaming. I had to stop taking pictures because she was getting too hysterical. I did not take pictures of everything this time. We waited at the hospital for 2 hours hoping that she would stop crying; she didn’t but they still sent us home with the hope she would get better by Wed.

On Tuesday morning, I had to take her to the Pediatrician. I found out that the cast was too tight. I had to drive LaRae back down to DuPont so they could cut the cast to relieve the pressure. That seemed to do the trick. She is still a little crabby - I think that’s from the lack of sleep at this point. We now have 2 weeks behind us. Until next week….. Wish us luck…

Monday when they recasted LaRae's arm. I stopped taking pictures. I couldn't handle her crying and not being able to comfort her.

This was on Moday when the cast was still too tight.

This is the LaRae we all know and love.
