Tanner's First Surgery

Last year Tanner stepped on a metal cleat that I thought had since healed. Instead, it caused a marble size scar tissue with a bunch of nerves in a knot...causing much pain for Tanner! During his check up at Shriner's, the doctors thought it would be best to remove the tissue.As he is wheeled into surgery, he is greeted by Sully and Mike. Mike even has a cast on his hand!
Tanner did well...had a tricky time waking up and was in the recovery for over 2 hours. Once he was back in his room all he wanted was food! Best part for me is how much he told me he loved me over and over again!
His favorite gift was the Sesame Street, bright orange fleece blanket they gave him.
Now that the numbing block wore off, he wasn't as pleasant to be around. He loves the percocet! Tanner is on crutches and can not put any weight on the foot for three weeks. Wish us luck!
