Back from another trip to Dallas




Today we came back from another very long trip to Dallas. It seems that these trips really drag on the more we go. But to make then most of the trip we stayed at the Gaylord to do a little swimming, eating and some adventure around the hotel. It is really big. Dont think we will stay again due to the expense but we had a great time there.



This morning Kristin, Brandon and I headed over to Scottish Rite in Dallas to see Dr Burich and his team. Brandon's surgery foot has started turning in again. I was worried that the four bones fused may be damaged and we will be back to sqaure one due to his regression. Dr Birch agreed and we are now headed back to surgery at the end of July. The good news is that there is only one more tendon to repair and the surgery will not be as painful. The bad news, the recovery will be the same. One month in a cast with no weight bearing, one month in a tight cast and then recovery from there. It was a long drive home after the news, however I think both Kristin and I excpeted it. We were both remembing the long hospital stay and little sleep from the first surgery amd hoping this time for the best. Brandon is handling the news well. Surgery is scheduled for July 27 with possible 3 days in patient. It's going to be a long summer. video from before the operation and some after. I put a few pictures and a video from before the operations this past year and some post operation.
