The cast comes off and the pins are out
My poor little CoCo Bean I just can't tell you how much you have been through in these last few weeks. I was so excited to take you to get your cast off I really had no idea what a very painful and scary process it would be. If I would have known your Daddy would have had to take you. I don't even stay in the room when you have your shots. I'm just too emotional seeing you upset. I asked your Daddy what he thought they would use to take your cast off and he thought it would be a tiny drivel saw....wrong. They wheeled in this 3 foot contraption that was louder than a jig saw (yes I have used a jig saw). Of course the noise scared you to death and you were crying and crawling up me to get away from it. That was just the beginning. We then had to take you for more x-rays which you were not happy about which is understandable after everything you have been through. When the Dr. came in to take out your pins he unwrapped the bandage around your hand and I was in total shock. Pins...no these were not pins it looked more like barb wire coming out of your finger on either side. He had to pull them out with what looked like a pair of pliers and you could here them as they came out of the bone. I am so sorry that you had to go through that. I would have taken your place over and over if I could have. Now you have it bandaged up for the next 2 weeks which is not going well because you keep removing the bandage. I'm worried because your finger still looks crooked. I just pray that it heals in time and you don't remember any of this.

Well the worst is over, Coco will not remember any of it. It will last in your mind far longer than it will in hers. I know when Lucas had his stitches out he cried and cried but does not remember any of it, only what we have told him. Give her a hug from us and tell her what a brave girl she is, Oh and you were brave too !!!!!
