Today was Bandit's 2 week post-op appt.
He has been doing well; not bearing any weight (but with as bad of a fracture as it was I wasn't shocked by that) - so I FULLY expected to get his staples out and be sent on our way....

Why would I think we would be THAT lucky???

One of his pins has slipped BELOW the fracture (thus serving NO purpose for the fracture; simply creating irritation for Bandit at the pin is right at his skin)

Dr said "luck" is on our side because even with just 1 pin in the fracture repair it is holding up well.

So.... he sent us home; Dr's orders say 1 week of VERY little activity (they are putting him back on sedatives and pain meds)- - he wants to give his body 1 more good week to heal the fracture. We go back Tuesday morning; xrays will determine what happens next - - 2 choices: #1- the fracture repair is still in alignment & they do a "simple" procedure to get the pin out. #2: The fracture is NOT aligned and they have to go back in & redo surgery to repair it again.

I am asking for prayers - - actually BEGGING for prayers at this point!

Attaching 2 xrays - one from day of surgery; pins in place :)

2nd one from today :(
