Harry has been taken to surgery. It's expected to take between 4 and 5 hours. They hope to complete operations on both wrists. If, however, it begins to take too long they will stop and reschedule an additional surgery for the second wrist at a later date. We don't really know what that means yet.
Also, the idea of Harry being moved to a residential facility to receive physical therapy has been all but abandoned. Not that it wouldn't be best for him...everyone agrees it would be best. But, doctors are saying that at his age and present overall health (strong, young, no med conditions, etc.) there isn't an insurance company on planet earth that would approve a request like that from him.
The bad news, of course, is that life will be a little complicated as we do the necessary PT at home together...on our own. But the good news is that it's not a matter of life or death and we'll ultimately be fine. (just less convenient and we can get over that)
I want to sincerely thank each and every person who has called, come by, taken care of my children, prayed for us, offered your home or a ride, sent a card, flowers, food, balloons, well wishes or money, or even wanted to. The outpouring of friendship and generosity has been overwhelming. I always felt we had dear friends but I had no idea how loving and helpful or how many we had. I thank God for you and am sure that you are all a part of His plan to help us overcome this challenge. Thank you again on behalf of myself, Harry and our children.
I'll let you know how the surgery goes as soon as I know something. Thanks again.
