Shaun was out mowing the lawn back in May and stepped in a hole (our lawn is littered with big holes... we're not sure why), and went down in a blaze of glory... and ended up tearing his ACL (in his knee). He kept putting off the surgery because he wanted to be able to play a little bit this summer- and we finally were able to schedule a time this week for the Dr. to go in and replace his ACL.
Here's Shaun waiting...
And now he has on a hospital gown...
And here is a picture of his knee- I think this is the funniest thing! The nurse had to come in and mark "Yes" on the knee that they were going to be working on. Apparently there is some kind of issue with Drs. operating on the wrong knee. Gives a person a good sense of confidence doesn't it?
And... after two hours of surgery... out he came. Everything went well and they were able to attach the new ACL with no problems. Shaun also handled the drugs well... he came out yelling something about a cheeseburger.
Anyway- a big thanks to Shaun's parents for taking the boys for us for a couple of days- it would have been very difficult with little ones running/scooting around. I appreciate the help VERY much! And thanks for those of you out there with your thoughts and prayers.
