The time for the surgery is 2:15, but we have to be at Shriners at 12:00.
If anyone wants to come visit at the hospital, the surgery should last around an
hour or so. Not sure what time visitors can come see him. Shriners is over by USF.
Take Fowler to Bruce B Downs, turn right. The next light you turn right (it is actually
the first right after turning onto BBD). There are signs. Go around the curve, stay in the
left lane and keep going straight after the stop sign. And there is Shriners.
If anyone wants to send him a card, the addie is Wyatt Richard, P.O. Box 252 Riverview,
Fl. 33568-0252. I know there are a few that had asked for our addie to send him
one. Can't remember who it was.
He will probably be there till Wednesday mabye Thursday. We won't know until Wednesday
how long he will be there. He will be in the casts for about 6-8 weeks and then braces after
that for about a year. I don't know if he will still have to use the wheelchair or not.
I get to stay the night with him at the hospital since he is only 8. So it is time to pack. Fun. lol
Thanks again for all the thoughts and prayers.
I will email as soon as I can after the surgery.

My prayers are with you guys My son has perthes disease and though he didn't have surgery he had to wear a brace for a year+ and now he has the brace off he is getting along fine even though he is still in the healing phase.... Patience is the key with this disease they say only time heals. Good luck and take care. Teri
