Thank everyone for your comments and prayers. We just heard from the surgeon... Archie is awake but still groggy. The surgeon said the break was arched and a weird shape. They were able to place two pins in his bone and growth plate. They wanted to use three pins, but since they couldn't they had to use an external splint to help the leg heal. The surgeon couldn't say if the surgery was a success, because she said it all comes down to how the bones heal over the next 6 weeks. We have a crate put him in and I will try to take as much time off work as I can to make sure he is comfortable and doesn't move.
We are hoping Archie can come home with us tomorrow. They don't want us to drive down and visit tonight because they are worried he may get too excited. It is hard not driving down there right away! |
