Castle's Update

We recently went to the Orthopedic surgeon for Castle's his year follow up as it has been about 13 months since Castle broke his legs. Castle was much more cooperative with the X-Rays than he was last year, he stood very still, the tech let him hold on to Doggie. Nice for him to have the culprit for the broken legs in his follow up X-Ray.

Dr. Stotts had very good feedback regarding Castle and his progress. After the cast came off his legs measured 3mm difference in length. This year there was only 1mm difference and he said he could not tell which leg had been broken! That was such happy news, we were told that when a bone is broken it is not uncommon for that limb to grow longer than the other one because of the extra blood that flows to repair the break. We will bring him back in a year and likely not again.

Castle had to have some gloves because that is what happens when you wait for the doctor.

Dentist

Castle and Logan went to the dentist recently. I was watching them and realized that if the dentist had, video games, cool tree huts with a toy kitchen, televisions in the ceiling, cute little hygienists and a toy prize when I was done, I would not have been so afraid to go to the dentist. Logan loves to go, as soon as we pull in the parking lot he is struggling with staying by me, he wants to run to the tree hut in the dentist office so he can play video games.

At first Castle wasn't too keen on the idea of letting anyone look in his mouth, this was not the first time the hygienist has dealt with a um, difficult patient. She was phenomenal, as you can see Castle was smiling by the time it was all over. She was even able to get X-Rays. I asked her if we could convince them to take one adult patient, "Steve" makes faces like Castle when he has to go to the dentist.
