Jake got his cast switched on Friday and things look really good. I had no idea how much padding they had put into first cast until he got the new one, it was huge! He still has some swelling around his ankle (that is to be expected) and five pretty good sized incisions that are healing nicely. It was pretty exciting to see how straight his foot was already and they said it will continue to get better.
He had to wait the full three weeks to walk on it, so was able to test it out a bit this morning. He said it hurts a little but he's getting around surprisingly well. I am really hopeful that this is going to make a big difference in the long run for him.
Just wanted to share a quick update, I'll post again when he gets his cast off.
