Surgery's done...Now We Wait...

This is called a Halo...The surgeons found not Nine fragments of bone, but FIFTEEN...How did they miss That on the CT Scan?? Oh well, at least they're out and now the healing process can begin. Crystal said it weighs at least ten pounds. They have to wait 48 to 72 hours...if everything is healing nicely, they can head home. Now that the surgery is over, Crystal and Tim told Samantha and Ty (Tim's son) to come home early...They left at one this afternoon and should get Here around six pm. I pray for their safe journey...Ty will be driving Crystal's car back to town.
Well, guess I'll get back to cleaning out Crystal's laptop....talk about a Mess!hahaaa...

Lord have mercy! I'm glad that you didn't show us a picture of it unwrapped! I know that has got to hurt. Crystal will have to shoulder the load around her homestead for a while, just like my DH has had to do with me laid up. So she is going to be wore out in the weeks and months ahead, bless her heart too. I am praying that Tim heals quickly!

Oh, I am SO glad to know that's over!! Have been thinking, and hoping, and praying!!! Thanks for the update, Donna. I know you will be so happy to see Sami when she gets home!! And, of course Crys and Tim in a few days. Wow, it has been a hard week for ALL of you, but now maybe, God willing things will begin to straighten out. I hope so. (((hugs)))

Thank goodness it's over. That looks like a pretty uncomfortable get up there, Here's hoping for a speedy recovery

I've heard of a Halo....it is not pleasant. I'll keep him on my prayer list, as well as you and his wife.

I just read the posts of Tim's injuries; sure was a nasty break. I hope the recovery and healing is not too long. Best wishes.

Whew, that fella has been through it hasn't he? Glad that's over for him and that he may get to head home soon. I sure hope they're keeping him out of pain.

Did Sam and Ty make it home safe and sound?
