Hurry Up and Wait

Jamie had a good night - slept almost the entire night through! The trauma team just came in and told us that they were going to have to postpone his feeding tube surgery until tomorrow - Thursday - at 2:30 in the afternoon.

Last night two foot and ankle specialists came to look at Jamie's right foot; they did some debreeding, and underneath there was good, pink tissue! So, his foot and toes are in better shape than initially thought. He could still lose the tips of a couple of toes, but for the most part, they look good. They will continue to "wait and see," barring infection.

We'll keep you posted! Thanks for everything!

Who needs super-long toes anyway? I'm so glad to hear everything is going well. When you get your nose tube out, we'll throw a No Nose Tube party!!

Jamie's friend Erin left a comment on our website about Jamie. My dad was injured in a wreck on April 22. He has dealt with and is dealing with many of the same issues as Jamie. My dad has a peg, and it was a great relief to him to be rid of the nose tube. He is in rehab now and is making progress. I am praying for Jamie. It is good to read of his progress.
Thank you Erin.
