Surgery Day

Friday Jan 7
I know its been a while-along while since we have posted. But today is a big day. Gideon is having his first major surgery. He has been going to PT and OT and learning to stand in braces but he is so bent at the hips and knees that surgeries will be needed. Today is the first. They are doing a bilateral femoral wedge osteotomy. This is a long and painful surgery for Gideon. It could take up to 7 hours. He will be in a hip spica cast with the bar between his feet for 6 weeks. The end result should be that he can stand straighter and be more independent. Please be praying and I will keep you posted.
