"Saw Kyle tonight. He looked and sounded good although he
said he still felt the same.
He said that he met with the doctor on Thursday and he is the
one that told him it would be 2-3 more weeks until he could operate. The
hospital called Kyle Thursday night and left him a message about his surgery on
Monday. Kyle was confused and called the doctor. Apparently the
doctor spoke with the plastic surgeon and the plastic surgeon said it would be
best to do the surgery now.
He heads over to the hospital at 6 a.m on Monday. The plastic surgeon will operate for 6-8 hours grafting the skin and muscle. The doctor will then go in for 6-8 hours and put in all the hardware. He'll be in the hospital 7-8 days after that with his foot up. He won't be able to get out of bed during this time.

I told him I wouldn't even
bother to contact him until Wednesday because he said he would probably be out
on Tuesday. He said that Brian is on his medical contact list so
hopefully Brian will keep us posted.
Oh, he said that it is only 15-20% chance of losing his foot if
the arteries don't take. He didn't sound as worried as his text
yesterday. I think the plastic surgeon was just telling him the reality
of the situation so he could be prepared just in case. "
We have been very concerned about Kyle and would appreciate prayers for him.
