Sucessful surgery

Luca before surgery with mom and after surgery with dad






We are waiting with Luca in the recovery room at Children's after a successful surgery. Dr. Mosca cut several tendons in his feet. He stretched the foot as far as the skin would allow. We have a follow up appointment in one week where he will get new casts. The anathesiologist named Dr. Walker said that all went smoothly. Luca slept before the surgery and he is sleeping again now. He had general anathesia and then he had a codel (like an epideral) so he cannot feel his feet for the next several hours and is not in pain. Thank you for your thoughts and prayers for today. I am relieved that it is over and we can help him stay comforable in this recovery process. It will be exciting to see his feet next week when the casts come off and the new ones go on.

  1. Thanks for the good news that the Dr gave you. We'll keep praying every day that Luca-Paduka can wear those casts and for him to be walking on straight feet.
