Kayley's Surgery













Kayley had her surgery on November 6, 2008. She was such a trooper. Grammie and Grandpa met us up there. They were there every step of the way. She got a little nervous as it got closer. They gave her some medicine that made her a little loopy. Mark loved that and was having her catching fish and a frog on the floor by the time they came to get her. We were so incredibly blessed. When they came out to talk to us they were able repair the hip with out going inside. This meant they she only had the cast up to her upper thigh and she only had to have it on 4-6 weeks. They also took one inch of bone from her leg and used it in the hip. When she woke up she was in soooo much pain and the pain lasted for several days.

I was really happy to hear that she did not need to have the cast on for as long as originally thought. I am so happy that she will be able to open presents on her own this year!

It was good to see you last night. Merry Christmas!
