Yesterday was a changing of the guard as Grandmother went home and Lolo and Lola arrived. Typically, Miles slept through the transition! He has enjoyed the attention from Lolo and Lola, but I do think that we was looking for Grandmother the rest of yesterday.
We are having mostly happier awake time with lots of smiles. Every now and then, he gets frustrated and angry that he is still in the cast and this is to be expected. He has not had pain medication for four days, all good signs.
Today Miles had his first four-legged visitor. Bella came with her people and Miles really enjoyed the visit. He especially liked having his feet sniffed!
We've had some moderate success on the "stinky boy" front. I have two words, Odor Eaters. Who knew that shoe inserts could be so useful? We've quartered some old cloth diapers to fill out Miles' diaper and keep him from missing the padded part. He has a cotton codpiece, but it is working. We've also had some success with the adult incontinence pads at night. No major accidents since we started these procedures.
Lastly, we heard that Miles' cousins have finally seen the blog. Their comment when they saw the pictures: "Oh my goodness, they glued his legs together!" How could you not love that! I bet that is how he feels most days.

Note the Odor Eaters!
