Arne's Surgery

[maia_maus]

Arne had his 1st knee surgery yesterday (part 1 of 2). For you medically savvy individuals, it was a high tibial osteotomy. The surgeon said it went well, but there could still be complications as far as 8 weeks out. Arne is still in the hospital and in lots of pain. He keeps maxing out his dosage of morphine cocktail... He was supposed to come

Ouch. Tell Arne I wished him a fast recovery. Let me know if you two(four) need anything.

Thanks and thanks. We should be fine, at least for now. His mom leaves today and she has been a big help around the house. His dad arrived on Friday and is also helping out with things besides waiting on Arne. Susan and Kai also came up on Friday on the way to NY for my family baby shower. They were a huge help putting baby furniture together and moving some of our old furniture downstairs. Arne's dad is here till the weekend, and then my parents will be coming for a few days. The only thing Arne really needs someone for at this point is for someone to get him meals, and drive him to Dr. appts. We'll have to figure something out once my parents go back home...I might be working from home a bit more...

We'll eventually need help putting the last crib together and finishing the armoire, but that'll have to wait a while until Arne is not using the nursery as his recovery room...
