Cast #2 Removal and Cast #3

Cade got cast #2 off on 8/20.  He enjoyed swimming at Uncle Charlie and Aunt Cheri's house in OK that weekend as well as time spent at the indoor pool and new splash pad near our house throughout the week.  He did the EOS X-ray machine which delivers 7 times less radiation than a normal X-ray.  However,  it takes longer and requires him to hold still longer so it took 2 tries.  Doctor still wasn't sure if it was an accurate scan because he looks like he is leaning in it.  So, it showed no change in the curve.
After a week long break, he got cast #3 on 8/28.  We arrived at 6am and were home by 11:30.  We opted out of the calm-down meds this time (Versed) and he did great!  A wagon ride and I-pad on the way to the OR worked like magic.  He came back to us much calmer as well.  He'll be in this cast about 9 seeks until 10/29 and then enjoy another cast break over Halloween.  Cast #4 is scheduled for 11/4.  His current cast is blue with Superman tape just like the first one.  We couldn't talk him into red for the Chiefs so maybe it will be another Blue October!
