Home we go...

At the end of the week we had our follow up appt. They took off the cast, manipulated both feet, and put casts on BOTH legs. I was not prepared at all for how heavy a big 6 mth old baby could be with 2 wet plaster casts on, but I thought my back was going to break as we carried him out of there. LOL We drove home that afternoon to Cincinnati with a very unhappy baby and a new pair of the coolest shoes we'd ever seen. Ian cried all the way from Iowa to Ohio and it was a looong drive.
I believe it was a wk later that we went to remove the casts at Ian's orthopaedic doctor here and got started on the shoes. Once again we'd have to use the shoes full time for 3 mths.Ian learned how to do everything in those shoes from crawling to taking steps, and even found ways to sleep, with some help from well placed pillows and rolled up blankets.
