Let them eat cake...

Another Road(block)

First post-operative visit to the doc... All-in-all, a good one. No complications or other problems. Long road ahead. Ryan is out of the cast and into the boot... Must wear boot 23x7 for the next FOUR months. No weight-bearing activities at all (crutches). Then comes up to SIX months of physical therapy. We are all having fun now!!

A Picture Worth a Thousand Words

Monday Evening Cool

Picture taken from our back porch on Monday night

Some pics from the season

We got these pics from the school photographer at the baseball banquet. He has several more that we'll get later...

Takin a walk

1^st to 3^rd

Touching Home

2 X the Fun

Because of the damage, Dr Hollis is going to do two surgeries. The first one will be arthroscopic to the inner side of his foot and the second will be a full cut on the outer side. Why two? She wants to go in and repair the bones and tendons and then follow up with the ligaments. We have one date set... June 24^th. If she can shift her schedule on June 10^th, that will be the first. If not, then the 24^th will be the first and the second will be two weeks later. This combined with a couple other things going on around here has got us all stressing.... ;-]

English Please

Head still spinning from all the Latin and medical speak. Tendons --- torn... Ligaments --- torn... Bones --- fractured. Lots of confused orthopedic doctors/surgeons. Air Force surgeons sent us out to sports ortho... Neither had seen the combination of damage in an ankle before... Doc today said that it looks as if it was mashed... from the inside. Awaiting surgery date.

Ketch Up.. With Pics

Got back from my fun filled week in Austin... Good stuff... Anyway, got back too late last night to talk to docs; will do so on Monday. Here's a couple pics that might amuse y'all though...

Bulky Jones Cast

Cast put on this past Tuesday
Real reason he's pissed....Because he can't go cruisin....

I'll post more this week once we know what the doc's and cutters decide to do. In the meantime, the Crestview High School baseball team finished the season at 19-6 in 1^st place in the district. District Tourney starts Monday...

But Wait, There's More....

Radiological report and MRI hardcopies now being sent for more opinions/diagnosis... Stand by to stand by... Ryan now in a hard cast till news comes back.

How Prophetic

What's the title of my last post? A "break" it is... Ryan is now a surgical candidate for his ankle. After 11 days, swelling had not yet reduced enough... primary care doc sent him to ortho... ortho immediately sent him for a CT... results horrible... Now waiting for referral for MRI (should be tomorrow)... He could be under the knife as soon as Friday.... There is always hope though that they will see something on the MRI that will change their minds about surgery.... Oh, and I leave Sunday morning to Austin for a week. What is the new phrase...? Feces occurs. More later...
