Surgery

Joseph's surgery went well. He was in the hospital for 2 days. So far it has been a miserable week for him. The pain meds seem to help but his comfort level is terrible. He cant find a position to satisfy him. I'm sure he will eventually find something that works, but its very difficult to watch.

Diaper changing is very different. The middle section of his cast is open from front to back. We have to slide a diaper inside and then wrap a larger diaper around the cast to catch anything that might slip out. Its not easy to do and Joseph hates being changed now.

We are nearly finished with the first week and have 5 more to go...this is going to be such a long and miserable road. Please Heavenly Father..show me the light at the end of the tunnel, and soon!
