Well as it turns out, I have not been a good blogger, or facebook updater!!! However, it does not mean that you have failed to check in on Zane's status and or his families needs!!! Thank you again. We are about 3 weeks out from Zane's surgery. He continues to do well, and watches way too much TV, but, I know it is only temporary. We did tackle doing a 550 piece puzzle, and even got Rick involved in taking on the puzzle task. It actually became quite consuming of some of my time!!
We have had a good recovery time all in all. Last Wednesday, Zane told Rick and I that is earlobe hurt and that it had a big lump in it. By Thursday he again told me that it was getting worse and really hurt. After a quick phone call to the Doc., we went and took him in that afternoon. When we got to the Dr. Zane was starting to run a fever, and I also realized he had not had much of an appetite the last day or so. With all the hardware and exposed pins in Zanes ankles and knees the Dr. felt like we should probably treat Zane for a brewing infection. Dr. said that it could be staph or strep and that if the right antibiotic was chosen the earlobe should be getting better by Friday. By Friday afternoon the swelling and soreness was decreasing!! I am proud of Zane that he has learned to take care of his body and alert Mom and Dad when something isnt' quite right. We rejoice that we have Drs., and medications to help keep us well.
Last night Zane was able to go to his friends birthday party and hang out for a couple hours. While Rick and I went to Set Free dinner and Bible Study. So we were all blessed with a couple hours of time away!!! When Rick went to pick up Zane (litterally) from the couch at the friends, he really tweeked his back!! So, needless to say, Rick is in some pain today from that.
At this point our plans are to return to Salt Lake on February 2nd, with the cast being removed on the 3rd, and return home on the 4th!!
Thank you for all the continued love and support and prayers!! We are blessed!
