Post Surgery Update: Day #4 and TONS OF PHOTOS

So today is Day #4 post-surgery BUT technically Day #5 since surgery was Friday AND really Day #7 since we arrived here for Pre-ops and all that stuff....It's been a long, long roller coaster-y week. Brinton is doing AMAZING today and the Dr. this morning said it's likely he could be released today. I have a feeling based on some physical therapy things that still need to be accomplished we'll more than likely be released tomorrow. Yay! He walked a bit this morning with the walker but then was to tired to sit for more than 10 minutes in the wheel chair before he asked to go back to the bed. I'm thinking he is doing as well as can be expected and he is a rock star!

It's lunch time and I've had an actual moment to grab my laptop plug in my camera and download some pics. I think this calls for a QUICK RECAP, I'm going to try and pick some photos that represent the last several days...
