Hoping for good news for your hubby today. So sorry to hear about your dad.

horsnaround · 11-14-2012, 04:10 PM

The news is more surgery. They will take all the plates and screws out and fuse his ankle to his foot. He will have to be very very careful not to break the bones as they are still very weak. So cast for many weeks and no work at least for another six months

. He was very happy there was no talk about taking the foot. So for that we are grateful. Surgery is set for Nov. 28th. So keeping praying we appreciate it.

More prayers going out for husbands new surgery. I pray he will make a complete recovery.

I was sorry to read of the loss of your Dad. Many prayers to your family during this difficult time.

Sounds hopeful... sending my prayers...

The surgeon must think there is a chance he can possibly heal through this procedure and is going to take that chance for him. Hooray!!! Hopefully, there is enough blood/nerve supply in those bones that the cutting back to bleeding bone for fusing will generate a good spate of new bone growth and fuse those bones in a good, substantial unit that will remain stable.

Is his doctor really a top notch surgeon who has done this surgery successfully for years? If not, I would find one who specializes in these type malunion corrections. Don't let just any orthopod do this procedure.

I so pray this works for him and he can become mobile and work again. Being a man, I know he's bound to be stir crazy by now! I think you have real hope here.

We both really like the doctor. And it was a mess so it has came along way. We are in Rochester in one of the very best hospitals in our area. People come from all over to doctor here. So hopefully we are doing the right thing. Just is taken a lot of time. Sure wish I would win the lottery

. The foot itself looks amazing it is just the inside that is healing slow. Doctor is worried about all the arthritis already and feels this will make that better. And taking everything out he is going to have to be extremely careful not to rebreak. And he does have a small hole that is leaking maybe a inner infection. So may have to come home with a IV for awhile. He has had it since the beginning so he was not worried about that till now. So I guess time will tell

Oh it is so good you have a doctor with an excellent medical team, etc. The surgeon can often make the difference in a procedure with healing problems so it is good to know he's in capable hands. Prayers are being said for that surgeon, team and of course your husband. He deserves a good foot & ankle to walk on!

Sammy Mommy · 11-15-2012, 07:35 AM

You've been thru so much for such a long time. I hope this surgery will repair his ankle and foot and that hubby has a speedy recovery. Hugs.

Connie · 11-15-2012, 09:06 AM

I'm just seeing this thread and my heart hurts for you and yours. I'm so sorry you lost your precious dad and send sincere sympathy. It's so hard to lose a parent. I'm also so sorry your hubby is still having such a time with his foot. Bless his heart. I am praying for his upcoming surgery to be a success and a quick and full recovery, and also praying for God to comfort you and your Mom through that awful journey of grieving. Hugs to you.

courtney1121 · 11-15-2012, 09:26 AM

I'm so sorry about your father. Losing a parent is never easy especially at such short notice. Prayers to you and your family and also a lot of prayers to your husband that his surgery goes well and he feels better.

horsnaround · 11-15-2012, 04:34 PM

Thanks all the kind words and prayers really do help.

This is soooooooo very important for this type of surgery to be successful! I join everyone else in prayers for your husband....I can imagine how discouraging it must be to keep hearing, "gotta go back in.....".
