My son Akira, a triplet, broke his femur (a spiral fracture) in June and was in a hip spica cast for 7.5 wks. It has now been 3.5 mos. and although he can walk, run and climb stairs with no problem, he still lacks endurance (and limps after walking long distances).

For more on my son's experience and how we took care of him (including hip spica cast care), pls see my blog:
