Good News!

Well he's out of surgery and it went very well!  They are really pleased with everything so that is good news!  They shaved off quite an extensive amount of bone that had formed where it wasn't supposed to and was causing him trouble.  They also went in and released all the quad muscle that had adhered to the rod in his thigh.  They said it was pretty bad and took quite a bit of work (about 2 hrs longer than expected), but got all of it separated from the rod and got his knee to bend to 110 degrees.  This was HUGE because his knee hasn't been able to bend much at all since the accident.  There were so many risks involved in this surgery, but it all went without any complications and for that we are so grateful!  He is now on a machine that is continually bending his knee to keep the maximum motion range to prevent it happening again.  They have him on an epidural to keep him comfortable while this is in place.  They said it is common to lose range of motion after surgery, but we know that through prayer and Dan's hard work God is going to prevent that from happening!  Thank you so much for all of your prayers!  God answered them!  I'll keep you posted~
