Getting the cast off!

 Aidan could not stand the thought of keeping the cast on through Thanksgiving if he didn't have to and I had to work on Sunday so he and I stayed in Virginia a couple of extra days. Brendan, Emmy, Aoife and Declan drove up to MA on Sunday morning and then Aidan and I flew up on Tuesday morning after he got his cast off on Monday. He feels so much better but it's amazing how the joint gets so stiff after just three weeks of immobilization!

Aidan's Cast

 Aidan got the permanent cast on today. It's fiberglass and really really hard and a bit lighter than his first cast. Thankfully he will only have to have it on for two weeks!!  So fantastic because it is such a pain  - especially since he can't bend his elbow or his wrist at all!!
