Guest guest Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 Heres to smooth sailing for his 7th cast. HRH Re: Casting went great! Good for you and your positive attitude! Congrats on the great incast correction! Best wishes during the " adjustment phase " We are on our way to Dallas right now for cast #7. I can't believe it's already been almost a year since we started! Time flies and cast life just becomes the new norm:) Tame Sent from my iPhone On Jan 25, 2012, at 2:37 PM, " curtdennis2003 " <curtdennis2003@...> wrote: Brayden got his first cast today in Cincinnati and everyone was really nice and took care of us. Brayden went from 42 degrees out of cast to 15 degrees in cast. So a great first casting! We got home to Columbus, with him sleeping the whole 2 hrs. He's now pretty cranky and I think a little upset with us. LOL! I can see where the first few days are a little rough...but we'll get there.
