Hi ,That is great correction, yay!- And a little Cetaphil gentle cleanser (or generic, Target has it for less and so do most drugstores next to the name brand) -will help get pee, etc. out of the knit-rite, if you haven't tried that before.

Life has just been so crazy lately that I never have time to visit CAST. and I took to Duke today and had his 3rd cast applied. We took him last Tuesday and had the cast removed ( this was our first cast free day since November) and they were going to re-apply on Wednesday. Well, he had such an awful rash and scratched his back up so badly that they couldn't place a new cast! With mixed feelings we came home and had a great weekend. He was so full of life and felt so good in my arms that I HATED to take him back today!!! I know that this is best for him and that he won't remember it and so on... it was still hard.

Anyhow he did great today and we are pleased with his progress. He has gone from about 70* before this 1st cast, down to around 30* in this cast today....looks like rotation is getting better too.

We finally got them to put a knit rite on him and so far just this afternoon he has peed on it(due to someone putting his diaper on over the cast!!!!) and has pooped on it now that we have gotten home. ;/ Oh Well! Life goes on I guess.

Thanks for listening,
