Cast Away

It has been so long since I've posted anything. Hopefully, I can get back in the blogging groove again. Today Robby's cast came off! He is amazing, an absolute inspiration to all of us. He never complained about having the cast on, he figured out how to crawl and move around the second week and by week three he was walking. I will eventually get around to posting video of him walking, but I need to figure out how to upload the video from my dinosaur camcorder.
Today, the doctor told us he wouldn't be able to walk for probably close to a week, due to sore muscles, joints, etc. When the cast first came off I looked over at him on the table and he looked miserable, he wanted to cry but wouldn't until I told him he could. He is currently most comfortable being in the same body position as the cast had him in.
Now, I said he is amazing and he is, he has already figured out how to crawl, it hurts, but, this child has never waited around for anyone to get him where he wants to be. He is bearing wait on his good leg and told me to just give him a stick and he could walk! I did not give him a stick, he has gone 7 1/2 half weeks being in that cast, he can wait a day or two to start walking.
The doctor also said lots of swimming, water is the best thing for him right now. That is such a great thing to hear, especially because the poor kid had a stench that could be smelled miles away! He is in the bath tub as I write.
He is the bravest kid I know, he is my little hero.
