49 Days Later...

And Ben's cast is finally OFF! We had been telling Ben that we would be taking off his cast for a few days now so he wouldn't freak out when it was time but he still was a little scared. We set him down and I started to peel and then once Ben realized it didn't hurt he wanted to help! It took a few minutes but soon it was off and Ben had his arm back! The skin didn't look as bad as it had last time they took it off so we were pleased about that! Vince gave him a nice long bath and made sure to put some super thick lotion on it. The skin is still healing and it doesn't seem to really bother Ben much. He is still favoring his left arm but that is to be expected as he gets use to being able to use his right hand fully again. We go back to Children's Mercy on the 20th for hopefully the last time to check his arm function to make sure he isn't having any lasting issues.
