He's Walking Again!

Well today has started out to be a good one. I stayed with Danny last night and he had a good night. He has a machine that keep his knees moving and he keep that thing going all night. About every 3 hours he would switch. He is having some soreness( He calls it) but is doing really well. He has a determination to getting his exercises done and done above and beyond what they expect. The doctors say he is ahead of the curve with his recovery. His cateriter came out this morning. He is able to bend his knees to a 97 degrees with his left and 92 with his right and can straighten them out to 9 degrees. Looks like he will be going home Saturday afternoon and will have home health come in to help him with his therapy. He made two trips down the hall and around the nurses station yesterday without any tears! He really wants to stick around here until tonight so he can have their SURF and TURF on the menu. That want he is having this Friday, he had it last time with his hip and has talked about all day yesterday. They brought his breakfast this morning with his chooses for the day...Looks like he has it tough up here!LOL Well keep praying for a quick recovery...we have lots of music to make!!!! Thanks again!

Danny's Surgery Went Great!!!

Danny's surgery went well! He had both knees replaced. He went in ay around 5:30 am and was back in his room at 1:00 pm. Doctors said he did great. He's having alittle pain, but he said he is managing pretty well. I was there yesterday(Tuesday) when they brought him to his room. He is in good spirits and is ready to get going. Yesterday was only pain management, and resting. Today they got him out of bed and he has his shorts on and sat up in a chair. Tomorrow, they are suppose to have him up and WALKING!! Man...that's crazy. He is in the Plaza Medical Center in Forth Worth. Room 701. He may be there for 3 to 5 days, then somewhere around a week at a rehab somewhere in the Iowa Park or Wichita Falls area. They don't have alot of info about this yet. Please keep him in your prayers for a speedy recovery! The prayers so far have been awesome, but we can't let up now, he has alot of healing and rehab that is bound to be painful. He is a super strong man, so I know he will be up and going soon. Thank you for all your prayers. You can keep up with us on our website and blog. God Bless and we hope to see you down the road,
