Hip Hip Hooray!!!

Then they pry it apart and cut the gauze stuff on the inside

There's the leg
Here is the tan line that she now has

Monday Briana got her cast off. She did great it is kind of scary when they come at you with a saw. Sierra was in charge of the pictures she documented I think almost every moment. I think there are about 45 or so pictures from our 20 minutes in the doctors office. The nurse was really nice and patient and they said she looked good. She was a little hesitant to walk on it cause I think it feels funny to use it again even though she was walking on it in the cast. It is a little dry and flaky but I am sure a couple of days of lotion will fix that. The funny thing was that on Sunday she finally said it was starting to itch and it was really bugging her come to find out today probably the fish bead that was stuck inside the cast was what was causing the itching. We had a good laugh at the doctors office over it. She is very excited to go swimming and play in the yard water. The first thing she did when she got home was get on her bike and go for a ride.

What a brave little girl. To be honest it does look a little scary to have that blade coming at you.
