Jeff went into surgery last night around 7:30pm to repair his spinal cord. A local neurosurgeon at Scripps La Jolla worked into the night finishing up around 2am. This morning we were able to view the xrays and ct scan of the hardware that was screwed into surrounding vertebrae in order to support the damaged T3 & T4 bones. Jeff was put on a ventilator in order to control his breathing during the surgery and this morning the doctors are clearing him to remove the ventilator to breathe on his own. At Amanda's request and due to ICU restrictions, we are asking you to wait before coming to visit Jeff. We will try our best to read Jeff the comments off this blog everyday to let him know everyone is thinking and praying for him.
Enjoying our first trip to Lake Martinez, AZ "the river". Good times! Finding our new normal.
