Surgery on Monday in Omaha

We went and got an xray of Molly's legs on Wednesday and there is definitely a fracture right at the mid-shaft of the right tibia and it also appears that the rod is migrating up into the knee. Dr. Esposito got back in touch with me today and said he didn't think this fracture would heal without replacing the rod. She has not been able to bear weight on the leg, which is unusual after 3-4 weeks with a rod in place.

Dr. Esposito's nurse called this afternoon and Molly is on the schedule for this Monday, in Omaha, at 1:00. The flights seem to be about $500 each given the last minute notice, so it seems that we are going to drive the 1200 miles!!! I know it will be an adventure if nothing else - thank goodness for DVD's :)

She has now come down with a cold and is feeling a bit under the weather, so we are offering her as much fluid as possible in hopes that this will pass or at least subside for the surgery on Monday.

She is now weighing in at 28.5 lbs

I am dreading the idea of having her going through yet another surgery, but I am hopeful that this will mean she will feel less pain in that leg and will hopefully be back to walking in a month or so.
