I just talked with John who is with Luca at the appointments today. Luca screamed through the whole casting this morning. And he said it hurt. John said it was heart breaking, I am sure I would have been in tears if I had been there. The good news was that Luca got a short leg cast this time in attempts to stretch out the achillies tendon (to avoid the tendon release surgery). We will find out on Friday if Luca is going to have the surgery or not. The next cast on Friday will be long leg again.
We should be able to go home around May 24 or 25th! But we will need to come back to Philly in a month to have the cast we go home with taken off and his new AFO's adjusted for his feet. It should be a short trip just a few days.
John and Luca are at the WREX appointment right now. I will let you know how it goes when they get home.
The boys are home. Luca is asleep with his new cast on. The WREX appointment went well, no tears and they got home at 6 pm for supper. Luca watched a movie on the ipad in the car and ate goldfish all the way back to the Hicks. He can't walk yet, as his leg is stiff from being in a bent position. I am sure he will be able to walk soon as the leg get stronger again.
This Friday another casting appointment and next Monday casting and down to DuPont again. Maybe we will get to take the Luca WREX home with us that day? Not sure yet.
