BabyWatch2014 takes an interesting turn...

So, over the last two days, the inside rod in Andrew's femur has slipped out a bit. How do we know, you ask? Well, he told us it was hurting when it happened Thursday and Saturday night. Then he wouldn't walk on it for about 24 hours. Also, it looks like this:






Yeah, we can't have that. Besides being uncomfortable for him, there is a risk it could break through the skin (yikes!) and expose his bone to infection.

So, tomorrow we go to have X-rays done and have a pre-op visit. Surgery will be sometime Tuesday. This surgery will be out-patient. If his bone is sufficiently healed, Dr Hooker will take the rods out. If not, she will trim or readjust the offending one.

All this to say, we really need this baby girl to stay put for a few more days. Prayers for both kids' safety and health would be greatly appreciated!
