Branden's Surgery

Last Saturday Bran was hanging shelves in our garage and
the ladder slipped and he fell and hit his nose on the concrete
foundation. He broke his nose,his septum and damage his
sinuses. So in other words he absolutely shattered his nose.
He had surgery yesterday and everything went well. The
doctor said it was actually worse then he thought so his
surgery took twice as long(1 1/2 hours) We were at the
hospital from 1pm to 9pm. Talk about a long day and the
doctors say it will be one long week. Poor Guy:( I feel so
terrible for him. Hope he has a quick recovery. Love you Bran!!

Before the surgery....




















During..... Well obviously not actually during but right before they put him under.














After the surgery(worst part) .......Isn't this the saddest
picture you have ever seen? He has two splints stitched
inside his nose and that one brace thing on the outside of
his nose to hold everything in place. He has to wear the
mustache looking thing just for blood drainage. He is in
quite a bit of pain but hopefully he starts to feel better
soon.
