It's off!!

On July 13th Alessandro got his cast off! Only six weeks after getting it on! We were shocked and thrilled! We were told he'd have longer, but the Dr. said there was enough bone growth to take it off as long as we kept him down for the next few months. No running, jumping, wrestling through the end of Sept. Awesome! It has taken him a few weeks to figure out how to walk again but he is finally there. He's a bit slower and has a big limp, but at least he can walk! He'll have a limp for a couple of years because his broken leg is about an inch shorter than the other. It should catch up to the other as he grows. Now that he can get around the hard part is keeping him from not being too rough, especially with his older brother. Boys will be boys. They're so darn physical!!! We're just excited Alessandro has had some of his summer to go swimming and other fun things without a big cast on.
