Garrett is currently awake and in little to no pain. Surgery went very well... they were able to save the knee. He has at least 8 screws and part of a healthy new tibia thanks to a 16-year-old boy. He is pretty numb in both legs and probably will not remember tonight (which is probably a good thing).
Thank you for all of the prayers and support... today was a big day for Garrett!
Dr. Conrad says that the surgery is worth 9 holes of golf... and depending on the recovery.... possibly 18. According to Conrad, it was a tough surgery just because of so many nerves and all that muscle Garrett has. The tumor was not anywhere else in the body besides the bone that they took out, which is great!
Mom's (Robin) sisters and brother in law kept her and Jim company while Garrett was in surgery.
Thanks again and we'll keep you up updated on his recovery : ).
