Surgery #2

I have to say I'm relieved that is behind us and healing can begin! Carsun had to be at the hospital at 6am (ahhhh way early with an hr drive there). He was so relaxed this time which was great. They gave him silly meds, doc Casey came in and brought up thought of using a spika cast for 4 wks along with removing plates and injecting botox into abductors. She felt with doing that we would be hitting all the options available without over stepping and doing anything we might have not needed too. After we asked many questions and the doctors personal option we all agreed on cast. Dr Casey said there was no text book to say this should work but carsuns case wasn't in the text books, it was very rare and she had no guidelines to follow but trail n era. We already felt more needed to be done then just removing plates and botox, he's had botox injections since he was 1.5 yrs old and it hasn't helped that much, so we where game w trying whatever else she would do! Lil did we know god had a better plan! About 30 mins later Carsun was wheeled in the OR. We received at call from OR about 30 mins later saying they where not doing botox and Dr Casey would explain later...we where kinda bummed, I mean it doesn't help him much but even alil is worth it! So we waited n waited...about 45 mins later got another call..this time Dr Casey..she said she was going to save his botox for later, that when she reexamined him under anesthesia he was tighter then she originally felt closer to to knee. She felt best option would be to cut abductors while under already and wear spika cast for 4 wks. PRAISE  GOD! We knew this would b painful for Carsun but it was what he needed to gain his mobility back! I was personally so happy I bout started crying on phone! About an hr later she came out and said he did wonderful and was about to go to picu to wake up and receive his pain meds. She gave us his old hardware that she removed and said here's a parting gift to a new recovery! ...now to the most scary part (I no alil ironic we r more scared of the pain control then actual surgery)..PICU called n asked for me to go back BC they couldn't get him quite or calm (my emotions where everywhere) get back there and he says "where's my daddy" of course lol...so thy let cj come back and he got calm within an hr on minimal pain meds....was moved to recovery and within 3 hr's of leaving the OR he was going home! OMG!! We where so relieved he did so well and amazed at the staff and doc Casey for really taking the time to look at issues he faced last surgery and made this one look like a piece of cake! Carsun has been home 2 days now...having some muscle spasms but overall feeling really good. He's been up playing Xbox NASCAR, racing his Dale Jr cars on his leg bar, and enjoying getting to eat on couch lol. He's ready to have cast off, he doesn't understand why its there and why it can't be taken off. Overall he's doing amazing considering he has 4 insisions in groin and hip area! He is such a trooper, lord idk how he fights but he does! I'm just proud to b his momma that's one thing I do know!
