It’s been 5 1/2 weeks and I am soo ready for the cast to come off. It stinks, especially now that it is summer and HOT! I am sick of sleeping with my 2 year old. I wake up with an elbow to the eye more than I can stand. We have one more week to go until our next doctor visit. We are supposed to get the cast off then, but they could decide when we get there to wait 2 more weeks. Some tips for sanity sake: We used an eyebrow brush to scratch inside the cast. It’s not sharp, so it won’t puncture the skin (the nurses said to be sure of that) but it scrapes the dead skin off really well. I also might try an old toothbrush. I use menstrual pads to pad the cast and absorb wetness. It has really been great at keeping him comfortable and rash free. One more week, here’s hoping!
