Waterproof

After 4 weeks Lilly was able to get a cast that allowed her knee to bend and was waterproof. This was huge for us since it was summer and all of our friends were already enjoying trips to the pool and splash parks. As a celebration we went with some of our friends to our favorite splash park and enjoyed some sunshine.

It took her some time to get used to bending her knee again. We think she might have been a little afraid to since the last time she was able to move it, it caused her a great deal of pain. It took even longer for her to walk without a limp once she got her cast off. Luckily though she was able to get it completely off right before her birthday, which we were all very excited for.

 Lilly getting her first cast on. She didn't make a peep and just held on to her daddy the entire time.

 Lilly's second cast. They start by putting on a sock to protect the leg from irritation then put on the harder layer. Lilly was quite chatty this time around and she was very upbeat. Laughing the whole time.

 Enjoying some cool water on a warm day. Cast and all. 

She was amazing through this entire time. She didn't let her broken leg get her down. We are so proud of her and got to see her grow as a little person.
