james' casts...

celebrating my birthday with the fam... my fav- red velvet!
james got his second set of casts today.  i will upload the pic tomorrow, but it is AMAZING the difference in one week.  his feet looked so much better.  and he is tolerating the new casts so much better!  actually, after that first 24 hours last time, he has done pretty well.  they started rubbing his thighs raw, and we went in and they put stuff on the tops of the casts.  but, even that, he did alright with!  he HATED getting the casts on today, but that was it.  

i do have to say, while we were waiting to go into the cast room, you could hear the saw (to take off the casts), and three different kids screaming.  one kid even said "help me".  didn't make me want to go in!  (seriously, though, they do a great job.  and i watched the "saw" and it doesn't get close to the skin!)
