Progress


While it has been awhile since my last post but I am finally able to stop for a minute and get something done. We are home and doing much better. Things are most definitely busy around here. We are adjusting to having dad home and immobile. He is doing well and getting up and around more and more every day.
We had a follow up visit today and it went well. Andy will start physical therapy next week. We will go back to see the doctor on Jan 22. Until then, no driving, no weight on the leg, and until we are told different no working (yea right) at least not at work.
The boys are doing well and are handling the adjustment very well. We are working on getting the rules set back in place but they have been troopers.
Thanks to all of you for your prayers, cards and call of concern. We are going to make it through this one way or the other. Here are some pictures to document our adventures.
Andrea, Karl and Kaden left today for Texas - they were excited and ready to see everyone. MeMe (Andy's mom) is coming in tomorrow to help us out during her break (we are very thankful for the help). So we will try and keep you updated.


Andy in the hospital working on his breathing - he did such a good job
The boys came to visit on Friday and took a nap with dad - well at least one of them took a nap
Well maybe two of them got a nap - Brazos fell asleep on the way there and slept almost the entire time. He was really tired.
Andy's leg on Friday pm. Can you tell that the one leg is three times the size of the other. I thought the incision looked good.
On Monday we came home from the hospital it was almost 7 p, before we got home. We got Andy on the couch and he went to work - literally. The boys were really excited to have him home again.
On Tuesday we went to the mall to see Santa (another post coming soon). Andy was a trooper - Brazos enjoyed riding with dad in his chair. We have a wheelchair until he can put weight on his foot with the weather the crutches are just a large risk outside.
Here are his legs again on Tuesday - the swelling is going down and things are looking good.
Side shot of his leg. We hope that he will be able to once again fold this leg up like the other one (ha). One day at a time.
More updates to come!
