Big Day Surgery

Dad's surgery went well today. They went in and put in rods and nails to fill in the missing bone. They cleaned out the leg and everything looks good. The only problem is that he now has pain in his leg, which believe it or not, until today he had no pain in the leg. His fingers on his right hand are slightly numb and he can't use them so we are hoping they didn't hit something during surgery. Surgery is still on for Monday when they will put muscle around the "bone" and close up the leg, finally! After that, he will be in rehab for 4-6 weeks and have a few more surgeries in there. Right now we are planning to put dad in St. John's rehab. Grandma is out of ICU and in rehab at St. Anthony's. Not sure if she will stay there or not because she has to share a room and gma does not like that. We might move her to a place she can have her own room. So today went well. Just hard seeing dad sit there trying to cough because of his pneumonia and it kills his sternum. I think that is all as of now. Mom is staying at the hospital today and Dave, Kelly, and the boys will be here tomorrow. Jeff is coming in soon. He told dad he was going to try to build him a ramp into the house. We are trying to figure out how to be able to get dad into his man cave when he gets home. We all know mom and dad DO NOT watch the same shows so there might have to be a lot of compromise over the next few months if they have to share a TV :) Thanks for the extra prayers today!
