Guest guest Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 Thanks Amber :-) I put a call into the nurses office but they were closed. I'm sure I'll hear from them tomorrow. We put some tape on the spots that were rubbing and he seems much more comfortable. I think it will be a rough night though. > > > > My sons cast was definatly off centered if you will pushing opposite the > cure so it might be normal but if your worried id just give them a call > Amber > > > > Hi everyone! > > > > Tom got his first cast today.

Guest guest Posted February 3, 2012 Report Share Posted February 3, 2012 Glad to hear lil Tom is adjusting. It may take a bit, but he'll get there! Not sure about the cast riding up....please send a pic, if possible. HRH > Hi everyone! > > Tom got his first cast today. The casting itself went well.
