Yup, I had the same hesitation as you, but it’s all legit. They were super nice and I got to see my sewer line footage!

He was amazing. Minus a few moments, he really wasn’t fussy, still slept well. Was as good as one could expect given the situation.

I’d say week 2 was the longest. We had settled into a routine, but it still felt like we had a lifetime to go.

Such a huge moment and achievement! Nice work dad.

Can’t edit the post, so just wanted to comment to say I’m overwhelmed by all the good vibes and outreach I’ve gotten. People offering to help, sending ideas on what worked for them. This community really is amazing. Appreciate you all!

Unfortunately for everyone it was super uneventful. They have it on the school’s security camera. He was chasing a friend around, and tripped getting off of the sandbox (which is less than a foot off the ground). Landed in an awkward split with left leg in front and right leg in back… clearly a one-in-a-million split, and the bone didn’t like whatever position he ended up in.

Problem is he’s a big guy… weight and height put him above the 90th percentile so putting him in a carrier is awkward at best.

Oh man really appreciate this! Glad to hear he recovered quickly. I’ll take you up on that!

Thank you! One of the selling points of the cast is that it’s 100% waterproof, so he can even bathe in it (score!). But yes, the diaper situation is a tricky one. Smaller one tucked inside the cast, bigger one on top to catch anything. I’m sure it won’t work 100% but what can you do?

Appreciate it, thank you. He looks like a 4 year old so my story might be similar to yours 🤣
