And here she is. Beauty eh? Lilia did really well while she was getting casted. Jaedyn really wanted her to get a pink cast but since Jaedyn has the claim on all things pink around here, Lilia has developed an affinity for purple. When she was given her choice she very clearly wanted "pur pur". And they even added sparkles for her! Talk about turning a lame thing into fun!
And as you can see she's navigating fairly well. It's actually easier for her to walk on this little baby than the splint that extended past her toes several inches! The little humdinger ends just above her knee but it's only slowed her a little.
She has to have it immobilized for 3 weeks and then they'll saw it creating a split cast that will be held on with velcro. She then can remove it for baths and sleeping for the first week and then up and walking without it only having it on for rough play and trips out! Much better than the old 6 week smelly things! Woop! She has had an amazing attitude about the whole thing. It's incredible to me how adaptable toddlers can be.
