Zeke's Week

Here's the plan for Zeke this week:

He and I will leave tomorrow afternoon (after work and school) and drive to St Paul. We'll be staying with my sister-in-law and her kids that night.

Tuesday we check in at the hospital at 7:30am for a gait analysis. In the afternoon, he'll also have more X-rays and we'll meet with the orthopedic doctor. We'll check in at the hotel that night and head to the hospital in the morning by 9am for surgery.

The actual procedure is scheduled to begin at 10:30am Wednesday morning and will probably take 3-4 hours. I'll keep blogging throughout the day, if possible. Once the surgery is over, he'll be in recovery for a while. From previous experience with Zeke, it takes him quite a while to wake back up. Then they'll transfer us to a room upstairs and the waiting begins again. I'll probably just end up staying on the couch in Zeke's hospital room until he's released (hopefully Friday but probably Monday).
