| Favorite book. |
On these trips its filled with so much emotion and usually unspoken. On the way up its kinda sad for us, no more close snuggles and not having to worry about spills on the cast and he love to go around in just a diaper and what parent doesn't like to see their kid in their little happy moments(Not saying we don't have that in cast). I still have a fear of putting him under anastasia. July 2012 is still fresh in our minds of the reaction he had. I know its not healthly, but to be a strong mother I sweep these fears under a rug just to not show it.

| "Hey, I missed you" |
Like normal, He found his buddy back at the hotel. Now he even talks to the baby in the mirror and offer it some food. I really think we need a wall of mirror in his room, but if we did that we would never get him out of his room.
The hotel we stay at is a very nice place. Right by O'Hara airport and is always busy. So chase's yelling knocking and running in to everything thing in his walker gets over looked because its never just a quite moment there.

| Wheres baby? |
Their is no moment of down time on casting trips. No sleep, no sitting down and relaxing, no sitting down enjoying a meal with out chase on my lap,and if you have the laptop out. Its not your turn to check your email or anything, its chase's time to press buttons to find out what every single button does. I even lost the baby in the hotel room didn't know it was possible. Until I heard lil giggles and a foot hanging out of the closet door. 
We had our first Chicago style deep dish. Oh let me tell you. It was GOOD. Two slices and it feels ya up
What a long day a casting day can be. Chase wasn't a happy camper at the hospital. Tired and hungry calls for a cranky child. We met up with another family that I have been talking to for a while now.Chase and their son is right around the same age. It was nice to sit down and talk with them,we could relate on a lot. Chase was trying out his lil buddies trick of chewing on a tooth brush to keep occupied, it worked for a bit.
When they finally took chase back, that's when time sits still and seem like forever before I get to hold my baby. Dr H and Linda came out to talk with us after casting. And you could tell on Dr H's face he wasn't delighted with great news.We wasn't expecting the best numbers, from already seeing his x-rays and hearing numbers from local radiology.Chase lost 8 degrees with the first cast. Not what we all was hoping for but with casting there is no protocol numbers,their is no chart of" well after first cast with a beginning curve of -- it should be to this --. No every child every curve is different. And tried to prepare us that this will not be a short road of casting. Chase started off with a pretty big curve. All I was thinking was my boy is 8 degrees less then that big curve he started off with YAY! Now in cast number two he was 52 out of cast and in cast they got him down to a whooping 15 degrees. We are just waiting for that growth spurt to hit and numbers to even go down faster with growth in the cast.
Chase is getting back to his normal self now. A bit top heavy and will fall backwards while sitting but no crying because of it."That's my boy!". He is happy and watching his sprout. Sesame street is really popular now. As long has big bird isn't on their. He is kinda scared of big bird.
Stay tuned for pictures of Cast#2!!!!Coming Soon.
