Number Two Done

He was asking for water following his second surgery. Tison did very well in the three hours he was in the operating room. The pin that was inserted in the thumb of his right hand during the first surgery was removed. The surgeon cleaned up some scar tissue that will vastly improve the range of motion on his legs and realigned the big toe on the left foot. A graft of skin was removed from his upper leg and used to repair the toe.

This is a big step and will dramatically improve his walking and running. The tendons on his left foot were very stiff because he has gone three years without stretching these tendons. The release of the big toe could help release the tendons as they are used for the first time in years.

Tison did a great job and was aware of everything. He came into pre-op and knew each step of the process. I was also impressed with how much English he is using. Number two surgery is done and now we will come back in four days to have the wrapping changed.
