As I sit here closing in on the second hour in the waiting room I realize you all deserve an update because if anyone hates waiting even half as much as I do then I've basically killed you all. Today is pre-op for his next surgery coming in just 2 days, Wednesday.
Zackary and I flew in to Baltimore late Saturday night in enough time to settle in and go to our favorite pizza place for dinner yesterday. It's a quick trip and will be back by Friday afternoon so long as there are no complications.
Today's pre-op will give us a little more feel on what the next year or two will bring and what we can do to do all we can to make Zackarys quality of life the best possible. All parents' mission in life for their kids, right? We will also learn more about surgery this week of course and what to expect for healing time, restrictions, etc.
This weeks surgery will be the disruption of the growth plate on his 'good' knee. We will stop the last 2" or so of growth on his right leg to even out the difference a little bit more. The technical term is epiphysiodesis should you want to do a little bit more research on it. Or you could just ask Adam, he knows he technical stuff and I have to keep things basic.
That's basically all the news I have for you all at this point and my phone just flashed low battery (of course I didn't bring a charger) and are well above the 2 hour wait point so I guess that's my signal to wrap this up. I, of course, will give you a few more updates this week as things progress but I just thank you all for your continued support, curiosity, love and prayers for the whole Miller family. Life is not always easy but it will forever be worth it!
With love,
Momma Miller
