Prayers needed...

I've been up all night, sick as a dog. No sleep because I'm sick with worry.

My son is going in for surgery at 9:30 this morning and I can't help but be nervous.

He's got a severe scaphoid fracture of the wrist, which orginally showed as a sprain a few months ago. He has reinjured it numerous times at his hockey games and the bone has now started to deteriorate, which has left a hole that will need to be filled.

The doc will go into my son's hip and take some bone and graft it into his hand before placing either a pin or screw to keep everything in place.

If you have a minute, please say a prayer for Mikey that everything goes ok. I know that's all I've been doing...

Thanks.

Absolutely. Prayer sent. Tell your kid not to worry!! And tell him you will laugh at the funny stuff he will say when he wakes up!! When I had surgery 5 months ago , I woke up and thought I was in a severe car accident, I kept asking everyone how my car was and how the other people were!! Then I said I thought I owned a taco bell!!
Your son will be ok!! God bless!

Sending lots of prayers and wishful thoughts your way... God Bless to you and your son :angel:

Thank you all so much for the prayers and good thoughts.

Mikey is doing fine - groggy, but ok. Other than being queasy from the anesthesia, he's ok. He was flirting with the nurses the entire time, even as they were taking him back to the O/R.

He definitely was braver than I was. As soon as they wheeled him through the doors, the tears started to roll.

Hours and hours later, the doc came out and said the surgery was a huge success. The graft went went well and the pin is in place. He'll wear a 1/2 cast for one week, then he'll get a full cast which will stay on for 6 weeks.

Again, thanks so much for your prayers. He's napping, and I think I should do the same.

Hey that's great to hear!

Awesome. yeah when I had knee surgery in 01 thats what my mom remembered to was the flirting I was doing with the nurses. Hey it kept me thinking about good stuff instead of getting sliced open.

I'll continue to keep your son in my prayers that he'll have a smooth recovery. I'm glad to hear the surgery was a success and Ii'm sure he is thrilled that he'll have the cast off before summer. Seven weeks is not to bad but it's long enough.

I am glad everything went ok, I had surgery on january 19th for a severly broken ankle, i now have 8 screws and a plate in my left ankle, so I have an idea of what he is going through.

Glad to hear everything went well. Keep letting us know how things are going.
