Taking care of daddy

We've had quite a health ordeal going on under our roof. Several weeks ago, JP had knee surgery to fix a torn meniscus, which in and of it self was not the best news, but we gave the surgery to God and trust in His care. The surgery was done via scope so there was very little scaring. Then the twists and turns began. His calf muscle began to really hurt a few days after surgery, but we didn't think much of it. As days went by, the pain in the calf began to overwhelm the actual surgical pain in the knee.
We went for an emergency ultrasound of his leg as well as a quick appointment with the surgeon. Apparently, the surgery requires pumping some fluid into the knee cavity to make room for the scope to navigate (we knew this upfront). However, the fluid is supposed to stay in the knee cavity and slowly dissipate. What happened to JP is the fluid leaked out of the back of his knee cavity and seeped into the fibrous tissues of his calf muscle. That fluid basically forced the calf muscle to swell significantly.

He's spent time on the couch with his leg hiked up on the back of the couch with his knee wrapped. He's been in an aircast for a week to help with his calf. Now he's limping along and working through physical therapy. And while he navigates his healing we are wondering if he has a job to go back to at the Toyota plant...God only knows. But with all the craziness, Mason has proven to be a great care giver. The boys have had some great time together and that has been a blessing.
