TUESDAY 30TH SURGERY 2

Dad went into surgery at about 8:30 am NY time to get his hand worked on. Dad Was alert before hand while mom read all the emails to him. He has been doing a really good job and breathing a lot on his own. Doctors said dad did great in surgery,  he has plates and a lot of screws in his hand. Now if dad doesn't do  anything crazy and spike a temp or get an infection then all he has to do now is get well. They haven't done the tracheotomy yet and I hope they wont have to. Dad does have a lot of road rash on his arm and they cleaned a lot of it up in surgery. Still its at a point were it could get infected, but they clean and dress it regularly. I have had many people ask about his lungs and ribs and well there is not much you can do to ribs you can't set or cast them they just magically fix themselves. They still have the drain in his lung but when his lung re inflated it popped the rib out and put the rest in place. The doctor says bones grow back beautifully so dad should do OK. Mom says hes doing great right now and he better keep it up. She wants to make sure you guys all know how much she loves you and how much she appreciates all the love and support emails and cards sent their way.
