Kaden's broken leg

These are pics from Kaden's surgery on his broken femur. The surgery took about 2 hours. Kaden's fracture was transverse with complete lateral displacement and shortening. In layman's terms....it made me want to cry to look at it! It was a clean break right in the middle of the femur. The surgery was successful and he now has 2 flexible titanium nails in his Left femur. In about 9-12 months they will be removed in another surgery. The pics here are from right after his surgery. He was in a LOT of pain at the time and his blood pressure was really high. So, they tried to keep him well medicated and comfortable after he woke up in so much pain. It has now been 11 days since the surgery and we had our first follow up today. They did X-rays and said that everything seemed to be on track. He took the bandage off and the incision s looked clean. I asked that they put another bandage on for my comfort. Kaden can now start to put pressure on his left leg while using his walker as long as he is comfortable. We talked to him about it tonight and he said he was scared to use his hurt leg. This really broke my heart! Our poor baby has been through so much in the last 2 weeks. Please keep him in your prayers for a speedy recovery and healing.
