Luca's recasting

Luca, John and I went to Children's Hospital this morning for Luca to get the cast changed in the operating room. We arrived at 10 am, waited till about 11:30 am and then John went in to the OR with Luca as he fell asleep. Luca was pretty calm about it all this morning but certainty did not want to being there. Luca really wanted to see Dr. Mosca before the surgery and was able to do that. Luca smiled the most this morning during that short visit with Dr. Mosca.  Luca was finished with the recasting about 12:30 pm and then came out into recovery at 1pm. He was sad when he first got to us, but got some pain medication and watched the IPAD till 2 pm. I asked Luca if his foot felt better after he got IV morphine. Luca said, "ya, it worked"
We got home about 3 pm and he is watching some Curious George. Luca will be in the long leg cast for four more weeks. He has an appointment on March 31st to get his short leg walking cast! And April 14th (the day before his birthday) to get his short cast off. Luca is excited to be cast free again for his birthday! We will all be glad, thanks for your support in this journey.
