Unfortunately, the results of the MRI indicated that there is some spinal fluid buildup, and a surgical procedure is required to drain it.
Sometime today, doctors will perform approximately 2 hours of surgery to correct it.
This will extend Jeff's time on the ventilator, but no one is sure how long at this point.
He is still alert and responding to nurses and those around him, so hopefully this just part of the process his body needs to go through to heal and make progress.
Send your strength to Jeff and Amanda today - They need it.
Enjoying our first trip to Lake Martinez, AZ "the river". Good times! Finding our new normal.
