I can't believe how fast the time has gone!! We leave for Utah tomorrow, he gets his cast on this Thursday, and we have the EMG next Monday! And thanks to everyone's prayers, Russell has been healthy for about 3 weeks now! Not even a runny nose. Yea! His back is looking pretty good (to my untrained eyes), we'll see what the x-rays say after the cast gets on. I have high hopes that it will look good. The dr's are saying that because of this long break, we might have to continue casting through the summer. Right now (with no cast, ha ha) that sounds fine. I feel like we've gotten used to it, and it's not a huge deal like it was. We'll see if I still feel that way on Friday. :)
