Once the pain goes away (which should be soon) it will get much easier! Glad I could brighten your day a little. I really did cut the blower motor off an AeroBed, and I taped a vacuum cleaner hose and crevice tool to it. It was easy to stick up into or down into the cast and blow him out. It cooled him off and kept the stink manageable. I would HIGHLY recommend it!!! Good luck! If you email me your information I would love to send you a copy of my children's book to help you pass some of the time!Smidgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05597360137147985630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2574462921015708685.post-10669998241697711852014-07-24T23:09:07.143-07:002014-07-24T23:09:07.143-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Smidgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05597360137147985630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2574462921015708685.post-12375509137756634152014-07-24T13:49:29.578-07:002014-07-24T13:49:29.578-07:00This brightened my day.

Hey, I love reading your accounts of carin...Smidge,<br />Hey, I love reading your accounts of caring for your three-year-old in his spica cast. Guess what, my son was once a three-year-old in a spica cast too, but now he is 18, applying to college, and writing his common app essay on resourcefulness and persistence.... the opening paragraph is, you guessed it, about that spica cast. My husband named my son's urinal the "Flying Burrito Brother" after the 60's rock band, and even that is making the cut for the essay. So is his memory of flipping off the couch and mastering the army crawl as he dragged his stiff legs behind him throughout the house. So, keep those accounts of these stressful days handy for future essay material. And by the way, my two boys always peed in the yard, sometimes even in the front, I'm sorry to say. They are both nice young men now. <br />NancyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2574462921015708685.post-45869614542212984852011-10-24T20:16:08.922-07:002011-10-24T20:16:08.922-07:00Rick,

Something I fully encourage and their mom does not like one bit. I think that might be a guy thing.Smidgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05597360137147985630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2574462921015708685.post-23508334167351589702011-10-19T21:52:32.502-07:002011-10-19T21:52:32.502-07:00oh I just love you!

And daddy runs to catch their pee?" Then as I read on I laughed even harder, realizing the situation! OH, the joys of parenting.
