Zack Update

So, Thursday afternoon Zack stepped on what turned out to be a shard of glass
( it was a suspected finishing nail, but turned out not to be which made it difficult) Thursday afternoon was spent in the ER, and Same Day Clinic in Cambridge eventually deciding on a Orthopedic Surgeon to remove it Monday. I didnt like the decision and I didnt like waiting until Monday. Friday was spent reviewing the xrays and options with his normal pediatrician. This was Friday of course and no opening were available to get Zack in that day. So time was spent waiting as they called the OnCall Orthopedic Surgeons to see if they would take the case sooner. Finally a Dr. Pittman called back and said he would do it at Mercy Hospital under general Saturday Morning. I didnt want general for him ( my fears for him) but was told local would not work on the sole of the foot that well and there might be some digging involved, once that was explained finally after 2 days I was okay. Zack then had to have a physical and so on and so forth. My Friday evening was spent feeling sick to my stomach and contracting due to having to Carry Zackary the entire day by myself. This morning we checked into Mercy, the simple 10 min remove a nail surgery, ended up being an 1 hour and 40 min removal of a thin shard of glass a 2 1/2 inch incision on the bottom of his foot, and replacement of his cast for now another week and half. Zackary lost more blood then the doctor wanted, the doctor said it ended up being the most difficult surgery he had done in a couple months due to not being able to grasp or find the glass ( it was too the bone) Zackary can not walk on his foot and I was warned of swelling and bruises. He came out of surgery... very angry and in quite a bit of pain, it took a good 4 hours for him to come back to normal. He cried for about 2 and 1/2 hours ( pain, confusion, scared) but is now at home in his King Chair, playing his new Diego game for the Wii waiting for his pop to come see him. The Doctor said tonight will be a rough night, wish me luck, I did call into work for tomorrow in fear I may not sleep much tonight and I need to take care of my baby.
One Side Note: This surgery was done at "Grandma Barb's Office with all of her friends ( my mom is an RN Labor and Delivery at Mercy) and grandma was explaining that the doctor was going to use surgical instruments to remove whatever was in his foot. After being in recovery for about 45 mins Zack states " Wait I thought you said they were going to play me music!"
Sharp as a whip even coming out of general. Thats my boy.
