Today was a day of improvements. To start off, Laelia had a bad casting week this last week. She missed her appointment Monday, got casts in a hurry on Tuesday, had the left leg cast slip down on Thursday, got a new leg cast Friday, had the left arm cast fall off on Saturday night, had the right arm cast slip on Sunday and then got them all redone today. Well they all got redone except for that left arm. Even though the cast fell off and the wrist had a chance to go back, the doc still decided to go ahead and do the splint for the left arm. It is so nice to see fingers again!

On our way back from casting, we saw that Laelie’s Christmas present had come early–a brand new swing! The old swing had reached its weight limit since Laelie’s casts are heavy, and the swing would groan to keep her moving. So we bought a new swing (one actually for toddlers) with our Target gift cards that friends and family had sent. It’s nice and strong and plugs in! She is asleep in it as I’m typing this!

But wait! There’s more! This was actually a two-in-one gift since we used the cardboard box the swing came in for Laelie’s new sleepy-box! She had outgrown her favorite box and refused to be set down on just a blanket. So new swing, new box and new splint all in one day!

Hello little bug! Are you my new friend?

Ah, it’s nice to wiggle again!

Showing off our new splint and old cast that fell off.
