Ok, we found out some details on Brett's surgery, and I thought I should post them. It is going to be the morning of December 23rd, 2008! I will be out of town with the kids, so Mom and Dad Yerkes will be taking him. Yeah for them! Then he can spend the holidays trying to relax and taking medication. They are going to replace his ACL with one from a cadaver, and he should be as good as new. The Doc told him to take ten days off work so he can do plenty of PT and get it working well again before he has to be on his feet all day.
On a different note, My Dad (Jim) had his hip replacement surgery today! It went well. He was a bit loopy when he came out of it and asked if Abraham Lincoln was still Pres. but when we went to see him a few hours later he was fully cognitive, and while in a great deal of pain, handling things very nicely. He won't be home until Friday, so we have to enjoy all that delicious Turkey without him, and he is stuck with hospital food. Poor guy! One of his legs was slightly shorter than the other, so when they did his hip replacement, they made his leg a little longer as well. He was pretty happy about that. Thanks to everyone for thier prayers and love!
Lastly, our family bought our car today. A minivan, 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan. More details with pictures tomorrow probably!
