Happy Sunday - Jer is back in a regular room and out of ICU again! His heart has been cleared -so the pain he was feeling was not cardiac related. He is just starting to 'feel' more of his injuries. They made an adjustment to his halo to tip his chin down slightly so he will be able to walk better. He is able to get up and down from his bed to a chair and now he's well enough that he has to go to xray instead of xray coming to him. All small achievements - but they are all steps in the right direction. We already know how strong he is - he even went almost 9 hours today without any pain medication - can you believe that with all of the injuries and surgeries he's had! He is our little mountain man!
He had the weekend off for a lot of his treatments as many departments are closed. So starting Monday he'll be working really hard again at regaining his strength. We are still not sure how long he will be here - they have talked about him doing some inpatient rehab for his injuries. Of course he'll still have to have lots of long term rehab once he is discharged. But he is up for the challenge and just happy to still be here.
Thank you for your continued prayers - keep praying for the healed skull fracture, pain management and no infections. And may God bless you tenfold for all the ways you have blessed Jerry and us - his forever grateful family. Big Jer, Mama Bonnie, Jamie, Marie and the love of Jer's life - Jody girl!
