This week, Andrew's cast finally came off. Boy was it time, too! We duct-taped it like crazy to keep it from all apart.
It actually wasn't quite as dirty as I thought it was going to be.
The incision looks pretty good and I think the scar will go away in time. He keeps giggling when he tries walking because it feels so funny. He keeps wanting to tip forward! I wonder how long it will take him to get used to walking on a flat foot. His muscles on his leg are very weak. The doc says it will take time to learn how to walk correctly.
So this is his right foot before the surgery. I don't have a flat-foot picture of his yet, but will try to take one soon.

Thank God for medical knowledge that He uses to heal us!
Precious Andrew! I'm sure it didn't slow him down much, but it will be good to see him really prosper in his body now.
Just in time for summer vacation!!!
He's walking pretty flat-footed now! We've enjoyed having him stay with us this weekend.
That cast was well worn! He'll figure out that his foot goes flat. Maybe he'll slow down for a bit, while his muscles strengthen. P.T.L!
I remember when I had my cast off on my arm and how funny and weak it felt, I can't imagine how much more strange it must feel seeing as you put a lot more weight on your foot!
I love the home town duct tape repair pic. Not near as dirty as I expected either. ;))
So glad to hear it. By the way, try Cocoa Butter for the scar - it works wonders.
