Casting is still moving right along. Although we finally got it figured out. When we were in the see the Dr. last week for Westin's cold/rash we mentioned what a pain it's been to soak off the casts... Well I guess we should have said something 4 weeks ago because Dr. Halvorson said.. Well I can cut them off!!!!! I bet the look on our faces was like a kid at Christmas! So Monday morning we headed in to get them cut off. The saw was loud but Westin didn't mind it one bit.
Monday afternoon we were back in Fargo for another set. We are making progress, the Dr thinks we will need two more weeks of casting and then we will be ready for Westin to have his tendon release. But time will tell. Monday night I could tell that something was wrong with the right cast. So we called and sure enough Tuesday we were back in Fargo again........ Puke! But they put a new cast on and he was good as new. Not to mention they gave us a $5.00 voucher for the Sanford Cafateria for our troubles...haha!
So now we are getting the process started for MA, medical assistance. At first we were told that he didn't qualify, which was totally wrong. Now we got to sit down with a lady from Fargo that deals with this. She went over everything and helped us get all of the paperwork completed. Our next step will be for another home visit where a lady from Wahpeton will come look over Westin. Eventually we will have people coming into our home weekly to work with him. That part we are not really excited about, but overall we know that it will be good for us and Westin.
Please keep Westin in your prayers.
