PT, New Gun, and Lane's Surgery

Monday Kris graduated from PT.  Arm is still a lil weak and he's still on light duty at work til he sees the doctor at the end of the month. 


 This is Alton, Kris & Lane's favorite PT.  Kris just finished up and now Alton will have Lane (for the 3rd time) at the end of the week.


After PT, we came down to Nashville to spend the night before Lane's surgery.  His gun that was ordered back in December has never shipped so we stopped by the local "Guns & Leather" to see if we could find something he wanted.  And of course he found something.  We stayed afterwards for about an hour and tried it out at the shooting range.  This was a good distraction for the moment.

Lane.



Dad


Me!


Kris again.


A very happy boy! for now anyway.


We are currently sitting in a hospital room in Nashville.  Lane's reconstruction knee surgery was this morning.  Dr Anderson said there was a little more damage than what he first thought or expected, but he was able to repair it all and said that Lane should make a 100% recovery.  I'll post exactly what he did when I find out the correct medical terms.  Pain management for the first 2-3 hours was tough, but he's got some new meds and he's resting now.  There's nothing worse than watching your child suffer. I would take his place if I could.   
My Mom & Dad was here with us this morning.  Also, a friend  of ours (Adam) who Pastors a Church we have been visiting, came down this morning as well.  We appreciate all of our family & friends who have called, visited, prayed, or just had Lane in your thoughts today.  And thank you to our family & friends who are house setting and taking care of Karson for us.  We couldn't do it without all of you.  We are Hoping & Praying for a good night.  I expect after the pain block to wear off that we will have to get the pain under control once again with IV and oral meds.  Also please pray for Lane to have a positive attitude and patience.  This will be a huge part of his recovery.  Love to all you!
