Ike got his cast removed this morning. He is one very happy boy. The tech who removed it was completely appalled at the amount of encrusted sand, tan bark, and dirt on Ike's leg. Ike had a couple of pinpoint open sores from the sand and dirt. The tech wouldn't even let us leave until he'd cleaned up his foot and leg with hydrogen peroxide. Ike's first few steps were wobbly but he went roller blading this afternoon so he's alright.

I just realized that I completely forgot to take a picture of Ike in his cast. Thus keeping my family tradition of no pictorial evidence of such injuries. Which made Joe just a bit upset. I went and got the camera out and downloaded the last months worth of pictures. Although I didn't set out to take a picture of Ike in his casted glory, I managed to find that I did capture the image while at the zoo last week.





And for the fun of it, here's another couple of pictures of other people that day.



Can you tell he just woke up from a nap?
