Jensen's Surgery --Round 2

We were so excited when Jensen had his first surgery to put plugs in his feet. The plugs were put in the natural hole that occurs in your ankle when your bones are in the correct position. They create a perfect arch, keep the feet from colapsing, and stop the prikly pain in the bottom of the feet. So the plugs went in great. The arch looked great. The feet went pigeon-toed. The knees bowed out. The feet got tired really easy. The feet hurt whenever they got touched/bumped. And poor Jensen had a hard time balancing and running. The Dr. said the plugs need to come out. The Dr. was very disappointed as were we!

So this morning we went in bright and early and the plugs came out. And the Dr. said that his feet didn't colapse as far, so we are hoping the scar tissue will help out some. He has to elevate his feet for a couple of days and then slowly start walking on them again. Luckily, no big boots this time. He can get back to school on Tuesday. And hopefully back to running and playing!!
He is doing good and is the bravest little guy in the world. On the way to the hospital he said that his tummy was hurting cause he was nervous. So I told him we would say a prayer as soon as we got there. We did and then he was ready to go.
