Well we just got back from Primary Children's Hospital. Alexander had his pectus excavatum corrected. It was amazing. The pictures below were literally taken before surgery and immediately afterward. He's still recovering (in fact he'll be recovering for a long time - 12 weeks to be exact). He'll turn 15 at the beginning of next year. The surgeon Dr. Meyers explained that this is the perfect time to perform the surgery right before a big growth spurt. He's a freshman this year so he'll be doing school online for the next quarter. By January he's going to be so bored. Rylee and I will do our best to entertain him. She's so helpful, a little nurse in the making. She loves to run and get him drinks and pillows and to change his movies (although Snow White is not necessarily Alexander's favorite choice) but she's helpful none the less.
