Well, it's all done and he did just great! Dr. Fitch said he went to check on him right after surgery and he was wide awake, looking like he hadn't even been through anything! They did an epidural block (I think) which is to help with pain initially. He said the femur head was pretty much decimated, which assured him this surgery was exactly the right thing to do.
We're in a room now, the 7th floor, which is a regular room, so he didn't even have to go to a step-down room. He's having some pain and a little nausea, but they've given him meds for both. He is groaning just a bit with discomfort, but considering all, I think doing really well.
I am so happy to have all this behind us, and looking forward to getting through the next couple of nights, then going home. Thus far, it has gone way better than I expected.
Just this moment David called me over to the bed, looked up, and gestured to me in his way to thank God for getting him through this. Yes, little buddy, we have much to be thankful for :-)

ReplyDeleteDavid,
ReplyDeleteWhy does it seem like I'm the only one who knew you would, yet again, face this surgery (and get through it) like a man. You make your Uncle Bill proud.
P.S. Tell your Mom I still can't seem to post a comment without telling someone some secret computer code that I don't know about.
