That's a wrap! For now....

We are in Donovan's room and he is sleeping and snoring away.  That is a very good thing as it is a strong indication he is in no pain and comfortable.  Our meeting with Dr. Forness went very well.  The surgery went according to plan (see pics of his x-ray below of his hip).  We had to wake him up in recovery before coming to his room and the only thing he said was "can we go home now"! and he went right back to sleep.

Can't say enough about the care and communication we have received today at the Children's Hospital before, during and after the surgery.  We actually ran into several people we know from multiple area's of our lives in the surgical waiting area and it included:  Bridget's old boss from Steelcase, a fellow PFAC member, an associate from Steve's work, and several staff (like 3 or 4) from spectrum who work with Bridget on the PFAC.

So now we wait for D to fully wake up and start the long recovery process.  The Nurses said it is likely the surgical drugs will wear off at 4am tomorrow, however, they have a good regiment of pain medicines on the plan.
