I know the stinky casts can be a hassle, but it could be worse, lol. My dd is

going to have to be in a spica after hip surgery in a couple of months (chest to

toes with a small hole for " diapering " ). As much as I hated the casts and

" leaks " in the leg casts I know I'll wish for that when we have the spica. UGH.

Hope you figure out something that works though! Good luck!

Re: Thank you and question

My doctors office gave us some stretchy cushiony tape that we wrapped

around the top of the cast, it stuck to his leg but not *sticky* so it

didn't hurt when we pulled it off. We just removed it whenever it got

messy. You should ask Dr. H if they have something like this, it was

wonderful!
