This past Thursday the cast came off! Hooray! The first two days Strauss was very sore and a little unhappy, but by Saturday morning he was able to be moved outside on the grass. He could sit up by himself and scoot around a bit. He spent about 6 hours outside with his dad! They built a submarine out of boxes we have been saving just for a special daddy/son building day. Audrey and I left the house on errands and returned with a McDonald's picnic.
Strauss is very happy to be out of the cast now. He is happy to play with his sister and re-discover his house after 5 weeks of lying in the cast. I am looking forward to being able to leave the house again with the kids. We are hoping that Strauss will begin walking in the next couple of weeks. It is only a matter of time before the little guy is running around making mischief and I can hardly wait! Thank you for all of your prayers, comments and emails for Strauss. ~Kim
YAHOOO...so glad to have Mr. Strauss cast free. Sounds like he had a magical day box crafting with dad and a then topped it off with a McDonald's picnic...a perfect kid day!
