Thanks guys. I just got back, it went well actually. On the way down Bailey said "I've got a bad feeling about this". He's been watching too much TV lately. His x-ray showed the bone had been 'eaten' away quite a bit by the staph infection, but the doctor was positive that the bone would re-grow and might even knit with his Tibula (that's now his upper arm bone instead of the humeros) without another operation. It was interesting to see the little staples (about 15 or so) in the arm that were used to close off the blood vessels. I can't remember the name of the operation, but it was where the tibia was taken with blood vessels complete, and those all hooked up again to make a 'live' piece of bone. Bailey is just really interested when Easter Bunny going to get here...
