We're halfway there!

(whoaaaOH livin' on a prayer...) If I have to have Bon Jovi in my head all week, so should you! :)

It's official! As of Monday Violet will be halfway done with her cast! Yay! In some ways it's gone pretty fast, and in other ways it is going incredibly slow. Hopefully the next 6 weeks will fly by!

We go in next week Monday for her cast change. They'll have to sedate her again so we'll probably be in the hospital most of the day. I'm not really looking forward to it, but at least this time we know what to expect!

Jon is continuously finding ways to amuse himself and Violet with the cast. I finally got some of them on camera, so without further ado, here are...

She also has some moleskin around the chest/back so the cast doesn't rub her in any way. We're learning ALL the tips and tricks of spica casts lately!
