Zanes Recovery Process

Well Friends and family,
Today would find Zane hanging out in his room playing XBOX, or in the living room watching some movie, or cartoon....He is feeling pretty well to say the least.  Some have commented on how well Zane does with each surgery and I would have to agree and give credit to God for his watch care over Zane and the rest of us!!  Zane does not have full feeling in his legs which helps with the most severe, yet he feels the pain!!  So, we do keep him medicated so that his body will heal.
Today he asked me for Popsicles for the 3rd time I think, so I guess I should visit the grocery store...
Rick has been off for the last 2 weeks with this whole process which is of course very nice since he can lift Zane and I cannot!!  Next week, will be  a new challenge for me, as Rick returns to work, Zack will be here sometimes to help, however, works most afternoon thru the evenings.  We have another young lady, Laura who can come up and help too, and that will be great....but she cannot lift Zane.  Our hope is Zane will be able to help with his transfers much more as he is healing! 
I am reminded during these times how laid back Zane's personality is What a blessing!!!  When he gets mad, (ususally at his younger brother), he has been pushed to his limit:) But, I am so thankful, that he just goes with all that it takes to recover and go thru some of these things!
Some of you have asked what all was done this go round.   Zane had both his Tibia's rotated, which involves cutting thru the bone and turning it.  He had hardware removed from his right knee, which he did bring home in a jar...it is purple and green titanium, (just like very expensive jewelry).  The Dr, also did alot of work on Zane's left ankle bone, trimming something?, and placing some pins which will be removed in the Dr.'s office the first part of February!!
I apologize for not posting more often, just takes alot of "time" to still care for him and the rest of the family, and get my head out of the clouds!  I have not taken "time" to get to the computer until today!!
Happy New Year to all who are following us on this journey, thank you for continued prayers and support to Zane and his family!!!  We feel it!!  Please pray for continued healing, no infections, ect., and for next week when Rick returns to work!!  Rick and Zane have been quite the team with this surgery, and it has been such a blessing for me to see!
