Well Billy's surgery went very well. They didn't get started until 8:45 a.m. and got done at 12:45 a.m. They have decided that we are going to try to lengthen him 70 mm or 7 cms. This is a little overlengthening, but it will get his little leg ahead of the other one so it will take longer for it to get behind. Billy has amazed me. He has just been a little trooper. His main complaints right now are the pulse ox moniter on his big toe and not being able to bend his knee. He wants to get up and walk already, but we will be doing that tomorrow. We've already met his physical therapist here, who is his current therapist's at Kids Firsts niece. Kim was awesome and put in a special request without me even knowing! He's getting x-rays first thing in the morning and then he'll go to therapy. I will try to post more tomorrow. I probably won't be able to post pictures til we get home because so far I'm not finding a computer with a card reader! Thanks for all the thoughts and prayers!
