All,
We would like to thank you all for your kind words, thoughts and prayers. Mason is doing as well as can be expected. His first surgery went well and was mainly to clean out, assess and stabilize his legs. He has external spanners on each leg with pins holding the foot/ankle and upper leg together in alignment and proper span. The main concern for now is infection and blood flow. The color and pulse in both feet are good and for now minimal infection.
This morning he will have a similar surgery to further irrigate and assess his progress. The surgeon reviewed his before and current x-rays and it looks like the bones are lining up well. Either in today's surgery or Mondays surgery they will probably add more pins to lock up his foot to minimize movement. They may also add some internal plates and screws to one ankle which may allow them to remove the external spanner.
We expect to be here for at least one more week. I will keep you advised. Our two younger kids, Parker and Madisen will be staying with my sister-in-law in North Phoenix, 2 hours away and Alexa and Brianna are headed home.
Thanks again for your kindness.
Scott and Liza
