story still going...

continued..... while still in the ER they had decsided you would most definatley need surgery and were hoping for that day, the hemotoma on your chest was still growing so it turned out you had to wait 2 days to have the surgery. the days until surgery were filled with meds and chaos on my part taking turns with my mom staying with you during the day so i could go home and get the kids things and my things for out for the places we were to be staying. finally on thursday he was stable enough to have surgery. oklahoma was on a severe weather advisory for that same evening. the surgery was supposed to take 2 hours. while waiting in the basement where the surgery was done, the tornado sirens started going off and according to the weather a tornado was heading to where we were, around this time nicks surgery should have been completed, the basement hall was flooded with people and pets and all you could imagine this ordeal went on for an hour and it was another hour, hour 4, that the dr came out and told us nick did great that the extra time was due to the bones burning out 3 drills. around midnight nick was back in the room. the next few days that followed were the most rough on nick because he had to endure so much pain and get used to operating on one foot and using a walker. nick was in the hospital for 19 days. finally after seven days in the surgery floor he was moved to rehab and had 12 days of continued therapy. nicks drs said he was not allowed to do stairs so we started staying with my parents once he was allowed home. EVEN MORE TO COME ...
