It's off!

Caroline's body cast is officially off! It was so scary. Not taking it off of her, she just laid there and I swear she knew she was about to be free. But scary to the point, that if it was coming off and we had no idea what could happen next. All Caroline did was try to roll over on a made up, king size bed and she broke her femur. How in the world are we going to prevent another one? She is 7 months old. She should be on all 4's trying to crawl. I guess you could say we are walking on pins and needles, just waiting for the next break. Not that we want to live our lives on pins and needles. Not at all. We want to pick her up, put her on her belly and let her go. And I am sure as the days go on, we will eventually calm down and let her venture on her own. Caroline is definitely behind the bell curve on development. Laying on her back for 3 weeks, she lost a lot of her motor skills. Plus she is very hesitant with her right leg. Before the break, she had all 10 toes in her mouth. Now, she barely touches her toes. When she takes her bath at night, she kicks her left leg, but barely moves her right leg. And unfortunately, she can't sit up. Most 7 month old babies can sit up on their own. But not Sweet Caroline. We are hopeful that with time she will be able to sit up and play. It's extremely disheartening when you are with your friends and their babies are progressing as they should. They are sitting up, rolling over, crawling. But oh well. It's not like there is anything we can do about it, besides pray that she will progress well.
Well, I feel like all I do on this blog is complain.
So, I will end this blog on positivity! We are so proud of our little girl. She wore the body cast for 3 weeks like a trooper. She did better than Web and I, that's for sure. She showed us that she has more determination and courage than Web and I combined. We love her so much! We hope you all have a great Memorial Weekend!
