So today we had a hospital visit.

After just over 7 weeks, it seems Ben is doing really well. His femur, that was in several bits, is knitting together nicely and the grafts and other holes that were stapled back together are all doing well. There's a lot of movement in his left leg now, and although the muscles have atrophied, he's able to hobble around without crutches a little.

There's a long way to go, including getting the scar tissue from all those wounds to detach from the bone below, but he's making good progress and we're very pleased.
