Bandit's Surgery Update
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 :(

Oh no! That's not good news. :-(
I will be praying for you A LOT. I was wondering how things are going. Did they say how much a second surgery would cost?

Gwynnie & Al continue sending prayers and good vibes. They never tire of this.
Hoping for the day when you can look back on this as just a bad dream that went away.
