Hard splint off

I can't believe that I hadn't written about this yet!  Dude had an appointment with the orthopedic doctor about a week ago to determine if he was going to have to get a hard cast or if this hard splint had done the trick.  And lucky for us the hard splint got to come off!  They took some more x-rays while we were there and they said they could see the calcification, meaning that it was healing and that everything looked good!

His tiny little splint
They thought that he might limp or hobble around for a little while because he would be getting used to using that foot again, but not our Dude!  He was off and running like nothing happened!  To celebrate his being splint free we went to the children's museum afterwards so he could burn off some of that energy.  The kids had a blast.  :)  We then went and got thai food and he got his favorite... SUSHI!

Lucy's favorite toy upstairs

Dude was so excited to have Lucy 'driving' him around
I can't believe how quickly he bounced back from it, and never used it as an excuse to be lame or have a bad attitude.  He's awesome!
