Afternoon at the Hospital


The first set of X-rays
.
Looks like a mug shot but it's actually for an x-ray of his spine
.
Checking out the spine x-rays on the computer while waiting for the doctor.

A closer view of his spine x-ray.
You can see the slight curve of his spine.
.
Right foot x-ray.
This is the foot they'll be working on tomorrow.

Happily eating pizza AGAIN!
I couldn't stomach it again tonight so I stopped and picked up Chinese for myself.

I received a call on the drive over yesterday informing me that the surgery time had been bumped up an hour. So now we'll check in at the hospital tomorrow morning at 8am. The surgery is scheduled to begin at 9:30am. It will probably take about 4 hours but Zeke is the only one on the schedule so she told me they'll take as long as they need to to accomplish everything they need to. Two surgeons again so that one will remove the hardware on the left side while our primary surgeon will work on the right side removing hardware and then the foot reconstruction.
He'll be in a soft cast until Friday, when hopefully the swelling will be down enough to put on the hard  boot cast. There's a chance we might get to go home on Friday :)
