Today in therapy Mikey had his right arm put into a cast. His right arm is his strong, good arm and by casting it, that will force Mike to use his left hand and arm. Making him use it more will help it to heal faster. He has taken all this in stride.
Once the cast was set and hard, they will cut it off and attached straps to it. This will allow us to remove the cast when he showers and sleeps, but whenever he is awake he must have it on.
Mikey thinks / wants to take the cast off to eat. He says he needs to since he can't use his left hand very well. I said, backed up by the staff, that he will either learn to use his left hand, or he will get skinnier. :)
