Arm Update

Bo is still doing well and is a super baby indeed. We saw an orthopedic today and found out that his arm could be back to normal in two weeks. I was thrilled. He did not cast his arm but recommended keeping it in his sling. He also gave us a few ace bandage type wraps that we can use to wrap his arm down secure it. He said that he knows Bo will move his arm some and that is fine, we just want to try to prevent further injury during the healing time.

This evening when I got home I sat down and made Bo a "Christmas sling". He has all of these cute Christmas outfits and the blue one was really not working for me. This also gave me a chance to make him one that was a little smaller and fits better. The one from the hospital was actually quite small looking but still too big for Bo. Having one that fits a little better will help him to not use his arm I hope. I tried the sling on right before Bo went to bed tonight. I made it reversible so it would go with more of his outfits. Here he is trying it on.


One tired, cute, precious, boy!

Ok, you are too crafty. I think you need to go into business making baby slings :) Glad to hear the good report. Look forward to seeing you all in a few weeks!
