Carters New Leg

Carter had an appointment this week at Next Step to talk about his new leg. While we were there Scott, his prosthetists, casted his leg and made 2 molds for a socket. The foot will remain the same as well as the mechanics in the foot. Hopefully Carter will be in a new leg within a few weeks. While we were there we did put his exsisting prosthetic on to see how it fit. He kept telling us he wanted to run around, however we did not let him. There could potentially be harm done because the prosthetic no longers fits. Once he gets his new prosthetic that is custom fit to his new shaped leg he will be able to run around all he wants. Im sure he will keep me running too!

Call from New Zealand

I am asking for help. We received a phone call from a young man in New Zealand last week. Due to land line issues we were disconnected before I could get his name and number. Apparently his sister found Carter on the internet somewhere and gave her brother the information to contact me. Carter and this young man share many things in common. Im hoping however his sister found me the 1st time she will do it again and let her brother know that I would very much like to talk to him again.

Carter and Chase

Some pictures I took this morning. Im wondering if Carters new cast will last until next Monday when it is supposed to come off at the post op visit!
