The orthopedic surgeon just called. He was able to repair the femur without replacing the hip. He said it looks good, but we will have to wait to see if it will heal. With this type of break, there is a chance that the bone will not heal or the femoral neck will die. We will not know about this for a few months. The hand surgeon is working on his hand and then he should be out of surgery. We will let you know more when we get it.
The surgery nurse just called. They are closing up on the leg. He is doing well. They have decided to repair his hand today too. This is great news. This may mean no more surgeries for a while! I'll update again as soon as we know more!
We just got a report. He is still in surgery and is doing well. They said it would time more time. Maybe 2 more hours????
We just got a call from the surgery nurse. They have started surgery. J is doing fine. They don't know how long surgery will last, but will call every hour with updates. We will pass on news as we get it.
Love,
Cara
