Matt's cast

IT'S OFF!!!!!!
We got Matt's cast off on his birthday! (4/22)  He was a little scared at first because the cast cutter was noisy and made his leg vibrate, but once he realized it wasn't hurting him he was fine.  
He will stand on it, but will not walk on it!  If he has something to support himself he will walk a little, with a limp and on his tippy toes (like he did with his cast)
The Dr. Said that it will probably take him a few days to realize it works again.  So I guess we'll take it as it comes.  I just hope that day comes soon, right now he wants to be carried everywhere!

The 1st cut!
this part kinda freaked him out at first.
showing the cuts!
cutting the padding under the cast.
Almost done!
it's off!!!
look mom, my knee bends!
standing on his own two feet, again. 
(playing with the toys, waiting to get an x-ray)
that's a good lookin' leg right there.
hanging out waiting for the Dr. to come in.  


Here's some video of Matt once his cast was off.  
He really wasn't sure what to do or think!

He will not walk on his leg.  The little stinker!  
Here's another fun little video of him not walking 
that I took while we were waiting for the Dr.
