Kev's surgery is done!!!

What a day. I won't give all the details because some of you know what this surgery involves and the rest of you don't want to know. Surgery was at 3:00, done by 5:30 and in his room by 7:00. I left him at 9:00, and they were getting him started on the motion machine. I'm sad to think of the next hours for him - lots of pain. They assured us in a class last week that after the first 24 hours he'll turn a corner and be on the road to recovery. I hope they told us the truth!!! The kids came up to see Kev before the surgery and Claire brought Poppy a home-made card that told him to "kiss his old knees goodbye" and in the card she had given him two band-aids - one for each knee. Camden had a rough afternoon worrying about his Poppy. I wouldn't have realized that a four year old would comprehend enough of the situation to worry. Kids are something, aren't they? We were told that Kev will be in the hospital for four or five days. I'll keep you posted.
