Jaelee got her cast off.  We were so excited for the day I took the entire day off work so I could take the kids to the zoo after she got her cast off and I bought her a new outfit and shoes just for this day. 

Greg and I both took her to the Dr. and it seemed like we had to wait forever in the Dr.’s office to get the cast off.  They bring in this machine to cut off her cast it was loud and she screamed her head off the entire time.  When the cast was off I was so relieved and excited to see her little legs.  They were covered in dry skin and she had a sore in the crease of her thigh. 

Once it was off she still screamed and the Dr. said that most people would think it is a relief to get it off but it is scary and has become a security blanket to her.  They then x-rayed her to make sure the bone was healing just fine.  The Dr. told us it was still healing but was healed enough she could put weight on it.  He told us it would take about a week for her to be able to walk again and that she would have a limp for about a month. 

When we left Greg went to work and I took the kids home so they could take a bubble bath, from the time it took from the hospital to get home Jaelee had scratched her legs until it bled (must of been really itchy). 

The twins loved the bubble bath they were in their for about 45 minutes until I started to notice Jaelee looked sleepy.  We had a quick lunch and I put them down for a nap.  I figured we would go to the zoo after they woke up – but they slept for 4 hours (all the excitement of getting her cast off must of made them super tired) and by the time they woke up it was close to the closing time for the zoo so I decided we would go to the park instead and try the zoo the next day.

The park was a lot of fun.  It was really good to see the twins playing together again.  Jaelee adapted really well.  I carried her around from slide to slide and she crawled around the tops of them going through the tunnels, it was amazing that she just got her cast off and she was all ready finding ways to get around.  We called it a day after playing for an hour and went home to meet dad for dinner.
