The Cast is Off
Yes, finally after 2 months Brandon is cast free. This is good news and bad news. The good news is the foot can begin healing, Brandon can take his endless baths he loves and his clothes options have improved. The bad news - we are back 100% in the wheelchair for the moment. Brandon had a brace made for him and he has worn this for two days (see picture). His is foot is swollen and very dry. Therefore the foot really hurts. He has been complaining about pain. Today (saturday) I have given him a break on the brace as long as he does not attempt to walk on the foot. We also have been putting lotion on the help with the dry skin. I think the next step of trying to get Brandon back walking on the foot will be another slow process. I am hoping in two weeks to see if he can walk some with the walker in hopes to be 100% walking in 6 weeks. We have a recheck in 6 weeks. In the meantime Brandon must use the brace. As expected Brandon doesn't really like the brace but hopefully he will get the hang of it soon. More later
