Van's 1st Surgery

We had a great evening with Van,he is pretty happy ( probably because he is on morphine). Grandma Jane and Sissy came for a visit. Then I got a break and My sister and I took Myla out for dinner. Our night went really well-only getting up every 4 hours. We are scheduled to leave the hospital around 3. We are so thankful to all our wonderful Dr.s, nurses and other staff. We are very grateful for all the love, prayers and support from all our friends and family. Now next Friday is the left foots turn!





After surgery we meet Van back in his room. Dr. Gordon said surgery went great! Van's foot was very tight and the surgery was definitely needed to correct the clubfeet. below is Van and Daddy sleeping after a long morning.



Van was in Surgery and post op for 3 hours, this is Lance and I's station in the family waiting room. Labtop, magazines, paper and coffee.

Jodi- I am so glad that everything went well and thankful that he is happy and healing! Just out of curiosity (and because my husband is in medical school and likes to learn about medical things like this!) how did they correct them? Did they have to break the bones and then let them grow back? Was it bowed bones or was it a joint problem? Anyway, we'll be thinking of little Van next Friday!
