Re: being put under to get casted

[Guest guest]

Carole, what a relief to have the first cast/OR thing behind you.

Evan goes for his first re-cast on May 27. I think they'll need to

give ME a general anesthetic if Evan responds negatively. Thank

goodness we have some time to really talk it through with him so

he'll know what to expect. Does anyone have words of advice on how

to prepare older kids for casts?
