The ortho appointment was at 10:00, here in town. After a couple more x-rays, we knew he was getting a cast. Just to decide where to have it done - in town or at Children's. Children's had a waterproof option that we thought would be best for him (being small, in diapers, etc.). So, after a quick lunch at the mall with Dad, Mom, Lori & Ella Grace we were off again.
We checked in just after 2:00pm, met with several nurses and the on-call doctor...around 4:30 they gave him propofol. Major went from very upset, to very asleep in about 5-10 seconds. This just broke my hear to no end to see him laying there! Jeremy & I sat in the waiting room until they were finished, about 35 minutes. He was really upset until some of the medicine wore off and I finally was able to pick him up. But, what an adjustment! He was so heavy, and awkward to hold. He even had to have a new carseat to accommodate the cast.
Jeremy installed the carseat while I completed the discharge papers and we made it to the car at 7:00pm.
Our sweet friends from church (Frank, Amber and Gavin) brought over a wagon for Major to use that evening and brought him a couple of waterpaint books.
Major had not eaten much all day, and refused food when Nana offered some to him - until he saw there were deviled eggs! Oooh! That kid acted like he had been fasting for a week at that point! He followed that with some peanuts (aka pinto beans) and ham. Shortly after we were able to get him in bed with pillows under his legs.
I am so proud of my little guy, he is such a trooper. We have all had to make some adjustments, and say a lot of prayers, but we are certainly making it through!
Here are some pictures of the little guy!
