Jeff came through the surgery like a champ and was resting peacefully when Amanda and the Super Moms went home to get some rest of their own. Boy, did they need it. Let's hope Amanda is still slumbering.
The doctors were happy with how the surgery went and feel good about having fixed the spinal fluid leak issue. They did have to take more bone from the hip to further reconstruct the damaged vertebrae, but all went well.
The most pressing thing now is getting Jeff off that vent! He must show enough progress before Monday, so channel all your energy and lung strength his way. We want to avoid any other options such as a tracheotomy.
Not to mention, we need to hear that voice. Come on, Jeff!
Enjoying our first trip to Lake Martinez, AZ "the river". Good times! Finding our new normal.
Dude, I miss your text messages. I can't wait until they get that phone in your hands again. I never realized how frequently we chatted.
ReplyDeleteI know BJ misses you, too!
Positive thoughts to your lungs Jeff. Need to get you off the vent. Thoughts and prayers to you and Amanda.
