Update

Ammon's surgery went well yesterday, and in fact was even faster than the first surgery. It seemed like the prep took much longer than the actual procedure, which is always nice when you're very nervous. I read Ammon Trivial Pursuit cards during the surgery, and even though he got most of the answers wrong, I think it kept him just distracted enough to keep him sane. Today he has spent the better part of the day holed up in our room, doing homework and working for Yesco as much as he can from his laptop. His spirits have been relatively good, although one of the side effects of his medication does seem to make him a little bit irritable. I'm so grateful for the medical technology that we have, and that we can at least attempt to get this foot problem of his taken care of, it will certainly make our life easier in the future. I'm imagining walking to the park, playing basketball, and wandering around the grocery store this summer without having to worry about how much pain Ammon is in. Hopefully this surgery will work as well as the last one, and he can start living a pain-free lifestyle very, very soon!
