Sutton's cast came off last Wednesday (October 1st). Actually having the cast cut off was rather traumatic for Sutton, but we kept reassuring him what a good thing it was!!!! We had to hold him in some rather interesting positions so that the lady with the saw could get all the cuts she needed. Since coming out of the cast he has been doing well and re-discovering his legs. We were also hoping that he would re-discover the wonderful world of sleeping at night, but we are still waiting for that. He is consistently up at 11, 2, and 4!! His trunk and leg muscles are rather mushy, but we are working on sitting up and rolling over everyday. We go back on Halloween for his 4 week check-up. At that time the doctor will let us know if she feels he needs to start wearing a brace or not. I didn't know Nathan had taken a picture of the empty cast until I was doing this entry, but what a great picture, it is nice to see an empty cast!!!
