Dr S said Alex's surgery went really well yesterday.
Yeah!!
She said as soon as she nicked his achilles tendon, the heel dropped right down where it's supposed to be. She's hoping we'll only have to do the 2 weeks of casts but we'll know for sure after they come off.
He woke up very badly from the anesthesia, we don't think he was in any pain but just seriously pissed that he couldn't move his legs! And they put the IV, pulse ox, etc... on the hand of his "sucking fingers". He fought and fought for almost an hour, drank a little juice and ate some Popsicle but didn't start calming down until they took all the junk off his hand and his fingers could pop back in his mouth.
We've just been alternating ibuprofen and acetaminophen because he doesn't seem to be in pain at all. He's having a tough time getting around and wants to be carried everywhere. He weighs a ton now! I'm hoping he'll figure out how to crawl again soon :-)
