Brooky's New Pink Spica Cast

Okay I got some pictures of this girl in her new pink spica cast! Her cast is a combo of plaster and fiberglass, just like last time. She has bounced right back today and is back to her normal self after her cast change yesterday. She seems happy as always just like before and her big smiles prove it! Despite the fact that I noticed this girl has stab marks all over her hands and wrists and foot. I guess she must have been dehydrated from fasting. She went pretty much 12 hours without eating or drinking anything before going in for her cast change. She could have had something to drink at midnight or clear liquids up until 4:00, but she never wakes up in the night, so she just ate a big dinner, went down for the night and then I guess they couldn't get the IV in very well because she has 3 marks on one wrist, I think 2 on the other 2 on the back of one hand and one on her foot and then one where they finally got it in in the back of her other hand. Good think she was already asleep so she didn't have to feel all of that stabbing! Good grief! Poor girl. But I don't think they had to put the tube down her throat this time, because she wasn't raspy at all this time like she was last time! So that was good!

I still need to line her new cast opening with duct tape, but other than that I think we are pretty much good to go. This cast works fine in our stroller (which is the Phil & Ted dash model). What a relief! We use the back part that is used for the second child and hook it in the front position and it works perfect. Then I can still fit some groceries in the back...so it has saved us! We wouldn't be able to get out without a good stroller and so glad this one works so well for us. I will have to get some good pics of her in her stroller to put on here. For those wondering how it works. I can't wait til she is out of her cast though and we can fit both kids in the stroller like it is supposed to. :)

So she fits in her stroller but her cast is so fat this time that her little ivyrosespika chair (aka our watermelon chair) lid won't fit on properly. So we are going to need to do something about that. :) Here are the pics of her in her new cast...which by the way is 4 lbs heavier than the last one because she weighed 26 lbs when she was in her other cast and now she weighs 30! They plastered this cast a ton I guess!

See how the opening of the lid isn't big enough to fit around her now, so the lid isn't on right.

She still fits on the little perch, just the lid doesn't fit anymore. :(

My sweet pink cherry!

Love this smile!

She is so happy! I love it!

Love this goofy little tongue! :)
