Kelly's Shoulder

After a work accident the week after Eli was born, Kelly just went through his second shoulder surgery trying to fix the damage. This time our new doc, Dr. Larsen, went in with a plan but also wanted to check everything out in Kelly's shoulder. He ended up cutting the bicep tendon and reattaching it to the humorous, shaved a spur off the rotator cuff, and took a 1/2 inch off the coracoid bone. Yikes! We are so grateful for his careful work but wow! Kelly is really hurting! Apparently bones healing are very painful. Through it all Kelly is really trying to stay positive. I'm so proud of him for his determination to deal with the pain (distractions help) and his ability to recover so quickly. Already today we went on a walk, he played with Eli, and he even helped me clean up the toys (yeah for the "grabber" tool). We still have a long haul ahead of us, but we both feel very positive about the outcome and are looking forward to putting this whole thing behind us!

Still having fun with daddy!
