Day 3 - 81 to Go



We're 3 full days into it now, quite the challenge but Dylan is handling it much better than I was expecting.  This cast stays on for 6 weeks and then for weeks 7-12 he gets a smaller version that stops at his knees.  He doesn't appear to be in any pain, more-so angry that he cannot move around anymore.  The cast weighs about 10lbs and not much of what we have at home (car seat, high chair, stroller, etc) accommodates for a cast like this.  We were able to RENT a car seat from the hospital which of course is not covered by insurance.  For the upcoming weekend I plan on making some aftermarket modifications to one of our strollers, this will involve many of my power tools along with the possibility of added components.

Considering how "interesting" Dan's home projects are, I sure wish I were there for the adventure!
