A 22 Hour Break!

Cam was able to get his 2nd serial cast off today during his physical therapy session.  He has had 2 weeks of casting and we think his little tootsies enjoyed the fresh air!   He was so excited to show off for his therapists!  He is progressing well and we saw some great things today with his cast off.  We are not 100% sure about his progression in degrees (we will measure tomorrow), but were able to see his ankle bend past neutral:

We should only have 2 more weeks/casts to go and then we can really focus on the strengthening because the lengthening will be where it should be.  Tomorrow he goes in the morning for cast #3.  He had a pretty significant blister on the back of his heel from the last cast, so we are hoping they can figure out a way to protect that area before we recast.  Camden complained a couple of times of it hurting, but nothing major (no tears and he didn't dwell on it) so we were unsure if it really was bothering him.  Well, it was! 

 

 

Here is a link to a video of him with his cast off today.  This may be small to many (and we take it for granted), but to us it is a HUGE praise....Cam was able to alternate feet easily when climbing the stairs at P.T.!!
