YAY! We are out of surgery and in his nice cozy (?) hospital room.
Surgery completed around 5:30 pm, but then it took him 'til 7:30 pm to make the folks in recovery happy. *sigh* He's in a cast from the hips down, with a bar between the two legs, slightly below his knees.
The good news? His legs are within 1 cm of the same length.
The bad news? His right knee will never really straighten out. (not terribly bad news, just slightly bad...oh well).
Now that Patrick's done playing with the buttons on the bed and calling the nursing staff rather needlessly, he seems to be settling down. Only one ugly near-breech of the IV thus far, so please keep your fingers crossed...
Oh...and his day nurse tomorrow will be Lynn who nursed both he and Ben last year. YAY!
Good night, friends...and thanks for your prayers and good wishes!

What a relief that the surgery is over. I know you still have a long road ahead.
