2 Weeks Post-Op

I am happy to report that Zack had his 2 week post-op appointment this week and so far everything is healing very well.  He still needs to use both his crutches and wheel chair until he sees the good Dr. S again on December 27th.  We are keeping our fingers crossed that at that appointment he will be allowed to try and put some weight on his leg/hip.  He has been doing extremely well at staying off of it but cannot wait to be able to walk again.

Since being discharged from the hospital, he has only had 2 accidents and his foot touched down slightly but after seeing the x-rays this week, we are thankful that those 2 little touches did not move anything!  He was also happy to have the ends of his stitches clipped finally because they kept getting caught on his clothes.

I am amazed at how well he has been doing adjusting to being in the wheel chair and on crutches and having to miss out on so many things.  I am extremely thankful for a child who knows that he needs to get better and he will have the opportunity to do the things he is currently missing out on once again.

We would appreciate it if you could continue to keep him in your thoughts and send good vibes his way.  The quicker he heals the sooner he will be able to get back out there and be his 12year old self all over again!
