Timmy's surgery...

Yesterday Timmy had knee surgery. It went really well. He had his knee cleaned up and his ACL replaced. He was a little nervous about it-- but he did really well.

Here we are before his brush with death... hee hee...
He is all ready to go (thanks to the Barlows for stocking him up with the "essentials")...
I think this picture says it all!! We had a little too much fun waiting for the doctor... you know, a camera, a curtain, no kids, and a little too much time on our hands. We thought we were pretty stinkin' funny.
Here's the big boy after his surgery (still a little loopy on drugs). Doesn't it make you want to bring him some ice water with one of those bendy straws and maybe a little paper umbrella just to cheer him up...?

He is doing quite well and is accepting gifts that are edible or fit into his DVD player. (since that's about all he can do right now) He can't move around a whole lot because he is in a brace and they have him hooked up to an ice machine that circulates cold water around his wound. He also has machine (that is on a fanny pack-- yes, I found that particularly amusing) (we are totally going to save it for our trip to 6 flags next summer-- yeehoo!!) that feeds him some numbing medicine. He is basically strapped to the bed and I have to unhook him from all of that for him to go potty or whatever. Between him and the kids, I've got my hands full. I admit we did have an incident just this morning and I couldn't get to him on time-- he had to use the bucket I provided for such emergencies. (it wasn't pretty) But we're doing fine this afternoon. Thanks for all the support (and babysitting-- Mom and Jo). He'll be back up on his feet in no time.
