So our prayer for the surgery is that they will be able to do both knees at once. We are very aware that doing comes with some consequences - like 2 new knees will not be easy. But if he can only have one done, that means 2 things. A) His bones really are as bad as the MRI appears and they have to but a metal stem/rod in - not really all that cool. B) It means he will have to go back and go through it all again in 8+ weeks. We would really prefer one hospital stay.
So good times ahead. I think, after 4 different surgeons, that we have a very capable, experienced, confident (that is an understatement - all orthopedic surgeons are pretty dang confident ) surgeon. And the University Orthopedic center is a great place and they have all the resources to get Kenyon to full recovery.
So here we go....
Oh and guess what - I have the greatest mom EVER. You already knew that but she is. She is coming back to this house (can you even imagine after living here for 6 weeks) and helping me function with everything. She is saving us. Truly. Thanks Mom!
