Rhett began school this week after a 5 or 6 week absence. We are all happy about that! When I took him to school on Monday an all the kids in his class ran up to see him, he looked up at me and quickly said, "Mom, how's my hair?" They had a big welcome back party for him and his friend, Jake, who'd also been absent. We love his class and teachers.
Yesterday, Rhett got both casts cut off! We celebrated by going directly to the next office where they recasted him for DAFO's (leg braces). Thankfully, those casts are only to get a mold of his feet and legs and were immediately removed! Rhett was a little worried, there, for a minute! Now he wears 2 soft casts and is much happier. When he came home from getting his casts off, we soaked him in a bubble bath. Of course it's nice to finally get those legs in some water, but I was just happy to get that constant "bed head" under control! His hair had been sticking up straight for weeks and we finally got to wash it. He looks like a whole new kid now!
Yeah Rhett - You are such a trooper!!! I miss seeing you in scouts each week.
ReplyDeleteWendy - you are amazing! What a huge ordeal to deal with over and over again. I have such small problems in my life and have new appreciation for my life when I see what you go through on a daily basis. Please let me know if there is anything I can ever do to help you!!
Wendy, what can I say? Your descriptions are so tender. You guys (all of you) are the greatest! Just keep your spirits up and everything else will fall into place.
