Casting.....YUCK

We have met a new enemy.. casting Westins feet. Yuck We all know that this has to be done but oh my what a pain this truly is. I had no idea it was going to be so much work.m From finding clothes that fit over the casts, to diaper changes.. to our weekly cast on session in Fargo to our end of the week soak off session.

The first week we removed them it took just under two hours with scissors, plyers and a razor blade. No babies were harmed in the process!!

3 weeks later we got a pretty good system down, this past week it only took 30 minutes and me, Travis and my mom. Westin developed a pretty bad pressure sore on his left foot so this week we only have one cast.

This past week Westin got his first cold.....talk about no fun, so we brought him into the dr to get that checked out as well as a rash that he developed 2 weeks ago... Turned out to just be baby acne and exema. After a few days of hydrocordozone he looks like a new baby!

We head back to the cities tomorrow for a head ultrasound, as well as a meeting with the Dr. to go over the results.....fingers crossed that his ventricals are unchanged. We feel his soft spot everyday along with measuring his head. From what we can tell things still look good but we will find out for sure tomorrow.

Westin has learned to smile at his mommy and daddy, and also another accomplishment....he slept a 6 hour strech last night!!! Woohoo...let's hope he keeps that up!

Of course im including pictures... They change so fast!
