Ecstatic!

So Reiko had his surgery last Tuesday on the right leg and everything went smoothly.  Dr. Fassier said that his bones were soft so the rods just slid right in with no osteotomy(fracture) in the femur and only one osteotomy in the tibia, but otherwise the surgery went perfectly, he had little blood loss so no transfusion was needed either. They gave him something called a cottel(??) block that blocked the feeling in his nerves in the leg, it was supposed to last 24 hours but lasted about 8 hours, we spent the night and most of the next morning trying to catch up to his pain, but by the afternoon he was finally comfortable and he was back to his normal self. I was quite surprised how amazing he handled everything. I still have him on his pain meds every 4 hours on the dot so that we don't get behind his pain again, and we have been back in the hotel for 2 days now, so only 2 days in the hospital after surgery! He is already getting around like normal in the hotel, when we first came in to the hotel I put him on the floor with a pillow under his leg, assuming he would stay there while I put some things away, well I turn around and to my surprise he was moving around the floor, not evem 48 hours after surgery!! He has been such a good lil guy, he was pretty grumpy yesturday but nothing to unusual for him. We go back to the hospital Tuesday and his left leg surgery is Wednesday, I expect him to take alittle longer to bounce back and I also expect him to be very pissed off that both legs will be casted at once, but after seeing the xrays of his right leg, it is so worth it. So here it is, the amazing work of Dr. Fassier on the right leg!
