On The Rebound

Well... Braden finally got his cast off! I was so excited. I had to make this adventure alone because Jason almost passed out when Braden got his cast on. So... instead of having to worry about 3 babies, I left the biggest one home! Luckily I was able to leave Carter with my mom so that I wouldn't have to try to keep him happy while dealing with Braden. The appointment started a little rocky because Braden was scared to death of the saw that they used to cut his cast off. Who wouldn't be though? I was just hoping that they didn't cut his arm off with it. All they use to keep it from cutting the skin is a little dinky plastic stick. Scary! Then we had to wait for freakin 30 minutes to see the doctor and I had to keep Braden still the entire time. Have you ever tried to keep a two year old still? Yea, not an easy task. Finally some intern or something (I am not sure what he was. All I know is that he didn't know what the heck he was doing.) came and looked at the x-rays and got the doctor's permission to take the pins out. I thought that Braden would scream his eyes out, but he surprised me and didn't make a peep. I don't know if it was because it didn't hurt or because he was devouring the lolly pop that they gave him. Either way it went great. Then the stupid intern guy reached in the garbage and got his old cast out to use for a splint. Gross. He then tried to sound smart by telling me what we needed to do for Braden and when we needed to see him next. Just then the doctor poked his head in the room and told me what we really needed to do and said, "See you in a month." Hahaha. I think that the intern felt so dumb! When I talked to Jason all that he was concerned about was if I kept the pins, which I didn't. He was so mad! He actually told me to go back and get them. He didn't let it go all night and I finally had to tell him that it was too late and that the doctor threw them away. Oh well. I was just so happy that I was able to give Braden a good bath the next day! He loved it too!
