Elias made it through 25 days of having a cast. The last few days were long.
He became VERY picky about clothes, jackets, and shoes. It’s frustrating to get dressed with a cast on your arm.
He so desperately wanted to play outside but it was just so disappointing. His favorite things were not allowed...bike, fort, swings, dirt. And the things he could do were just hard to do...rake, mow, weed whack, soccer.
Augustine was a good big brother offering help when Elias felt defeated. I think fracturing his elbow fractured his spirit a little too.
When you’re wearing something as hard and heavy as a rock on your body, you’ll take all the respite you can get.
We kept busy so he wouldn’t think about it too much. Lewis showed Elias around his classroom at an open house.
And we played Waffle House which is one of his favorite games.
