Knee surgery #5

JD waiting for the surgeon to arrive, sexy gown don't ya think??
getting his leg shaved, and having to wear tights on his other leg. No fun!
In recovery after the 2 and a half hour long surgery.
after surgery with an ice pack on. Thankfully he had nurse Alisha to take care of him.
Looking like a mummy. This was taken just before we went back to the doc to have his staples taken out. They didn't use stitches, instead they stapled the front of his knee shut with 55 little staples.
This was taken just after the staples were pulled, now the real torture is still ahead of him, with 6 months of physical therapy, and who knows how much longer on the crutches. We do want to say thank you to everybody who came to visit, brought meals, called us just to see how we are, and prayed for us. Thank you to all of our friends, family, and neighbors.

A NIGHT OF LAUGHS

So we went and watched the WWE wrestling matches because it is something JD has always wanted to do. (he's kinda a nerd) We actually had a great time! We laughed HARD the ENTIRE night. The crowd was very entertaining, as it seemed as most of them thought wrestling was real and not basically a play with freakishly huge guys in it. We took our neighbor with us, Caleb is always at our house and has helped us with the yard a lot. We love having him around and he is a great kid!
Caleb is also a fanatic when it comes to wrestling so he was in 7th heaven all night long.
Alisha actually had a fun time too, especially seeing her 2 "boys" having such fun.
