The BIG day!

The BIG day finally arrived!
NO MORE CAST!

I have a million things I should blog about, but this one is the most exciting, and so deserving of a post!
Just hours before the dang thing comes off...of course she had to have one last blow out in it, just to help me appreciate it's removal that much more!

Waiting anxiously....

 Anytime now....

Finally it is time!
She couldn't quite figure out what was happening

It actually took a little while to get the cast off.
She said it was very thick (which explains why it weighed so much)


 After all the sawing came prying it apart

 AHHHH...relief
Not to worry she still has her chunks :)


I know this is gross, but it will help to show how incredibly hard it was to clean her up after she would poop, mind you some of this is fresh from right before her appointment!
Can you imagine...yuck!


Finally get to snuggle my chunky monkey!

Some how this is the only clothed after shot I have taken.
She finally gets to wear clothes


And the best part of all was the bath!!!!
I could not wait to get her in the tub and do a scrub down

I just love this little chunk. 
For everything she has been thru, she is such a happy content little thing.
It was a long 3 months but thank heavens this part is over.
Her hips look like they are in the right spot, so for now we have her sleep in a harness for the next 3 months and do some follow up appointments and pray they don't slip out because I DO NOT want to have to do this ever again!
