Trey gets early parole!

On Monday April 5th when I was changing Trey's diaper I noticed a pressure sore that had developed on his tail bone from the cast. He had been uncomfortable the last couple of days especially when we moved him, now we knew why.
So I spoke with the Medical Assistant to the surgeon who did the surgery and she said that it needed to be looked at, but I didn't want to make him endure a trip laying on his back up to Primary's. So we decided to take him in to Provo to his pediatrician's office. Sue Ann (the nurse practitioner, and she is great) looked at the sore and called the medical assistant. It was decided that Sue Ann would cut a portion of the cast away so the sore wouldn't have that pressure on it anymore. Paul and I had given Trey a pain med earlier so he was ok during this visit, but we could tell when we put him back in his chair that he was relieved the sore was not on the cast anymore.
So the rest of Monday and Tuesday Trey spent the majority of his time on his tummy to let that sore start to heal and rest.
Wednesday early morning Paul, Trey and I headed up to the surgeon's office at Primary's so the doctor could look at the sore and take an xray to see if his hips were healed enough to take the cast off. They also didn't want any other sores to start somewhere else under the cast.
The xray came back good so the medical assistant cut the cast off.

"Look Trey, here's your cast!"

Good riddance!!!!!!!!

So this last week Trey has had to adjust to bring out of the cast, feeling different hips, and dealing with muscle spasms, and sore and tight muscles.

Today, Wednesday 14th, I took him to school and he has been there a couple of hours and no phone calls so I guess he is ok. We are headed over to pick him up, I don't think he is up for a full day and really not ready for a bus ride.
