After 4 weeks in a cast, Miles received the "all clear" at yesterday's doctor appointment to go cast-free. One would think he would have been excited to not have to wear his cast, but he wasn't happy at all. In fact, he started crying big, crocodile tears when the Doctor told him he didn't have to wear it. He was somewhat comforted by a (strictly cosmetic) band-aid and knowing the the Doctor was going to give the cast to "some other little boy with an owie on his thumb."
Today he's band-aid free and still favoring that hand, but this is to be expected. In the next weeks he should switch over and be back to full-function of his thumb.
Praise the Lord that the bones healed up nicely! Just in time for warmer weather, too. I know he'll be excited that he can wear his baseball mitt on his hand now. Which reminds me to look for a right-handed mitt for toddlers. This has to exist somewhere, right?
