She is about the hit the OR this morning... extra bone in her foot will be removed, tendons in her foot and leg will have some work done and a cadaver bone will be inserted into the other side of her foot. She is 13 and grows in mysterious ways... the extra bone in her right foot is 1/3 longer than the one in her left foot and it just will not fit, so it must go! Size 10 mens wide and still growing. :)

This will be Sam's first major procedure and major recovery. This extra work is to keep her in good shape for catching, she is an amazing softball catcher. She usually plays up to U16 and as for the last year or 2.

Thanks All

She is out of surgery... they had to add a titanium pin to hold a tendon, the extra bone had gotten so big that it had really over stretched the tendon. She is always in a horrible mood if she is not in sports or active for a period of time. The next couple of months will really test our patience.

Thanks all.

Glad she had a successful surgery and we'll keep her in our prayers for a speedy recovery. The "impatience" of youth . . . we all experienced it. As mentioned, maybe she can help coach during her recovery until she is up to snuff again.

Prayer is the best medicine. My wife had cancer surgery in 2014. Before she went in, I saw a painting on the wall that I took a picture of. I showed my wife the picture of the nurses and doctors on the operating theater, with Jesus guiding the surgeon's hand. It brought her comfort.

2 weeks ago, my grandson had surgery to repair a double hernia he was born with on May 29. Long and strong prayer chain that day and the following days. His twin brother was not borne broken, thankfully. They heal so quickly when young, not like us older folk. Still, the most powerful medicine is prayer. My prayer is for speedy and proper healing.

Again, thanks all! She is in a lot of pain. She goes back in on Tuesday to get checked for infections and to get a hard cast. I am not so sure about that, the swelling is something else.

Prayers given.

This forum has some fine members. The generous unsolicited offers of help when my son faced major surgery were a tremendous extension of kindness and a source of great comfort.

I truly wish the best for your daughter and all who know and love her.

Hey all... thanks. She is now in the first hard cast waiting on swelling to go down. No infections, but still quite a bit of pain. She will get her second hard cast next Thursday. Doing nothing is killing her.

She is over the hump now! Only 5 to 8 weeks of crap left.

Get someone to teach her to knit. Useful hobby and will keep her busy.

Thanks all... Quick update... She is now in her fifth cast and healing fairly well. The incision where the bone was removed is pretty big. She is having fun doing acrobatics on crutches, makes me nervous as heck. Maybe in 2 weeks she will get moved to a boot and a couple of weeks after that maybe bearing a little weight. Good news, when the cast is off her foot now points forward like it should, not 30 degrees out like it did. Pain mostly gone and toes are ticklish now.
