Ben and his cast

Here are some pictures of sweet Ben and his new cast. He seems to be doing okay this morning.
He doesn't act like he is in pain, but just cannot understand why I won't take the dumb thing off
his leg. He keeps pointing at it and yelling at it. It is both sad and funny at the same time.
Thank you so much for all of your kind thoughts and prayers.

A photo of Ben on the way home from the ER. He did not cry once when they were putting on
his cast, but once he realized it was attached to him, he was pretty frustrated. He completely
forgot about his new addition when we got in the car though, as he was just so happy to
have some crackers. He had not eaten in six and a half hours and was starving.

On the way home last night, we stopped at the drug store so I could pick up some Tylenol
and Motrin for Ben. I was also able to find a long, soft sock that I cut the toe out of to put
over his cast. I don't think I ever thought before about how rough casts are and wanted
to do something to make Ben's weeks with his new blue leg a little less difficult.

And one more of Ben this morning. I took off the sock to capture his cute cast. He would smile
 a little when I asked him to, but still isn't up to much besides sitting on my lap and being loved.
I couldn't be more happy to oblige. I sure love this sweet boy!
