Jonathan got out of surgery about 1 hour ago. He made it through just fine. Actually, the doctors said once they were in there they realized it wasn't as bad as they had originally assessed. They were able to stretch the skin already on his elbow to cover what was necessary. There was no talk of nerve damage or any of that. So, it was a pretty routine surgery with zero complications. They are letting him rest tonight and tomorrow since Friday they are doing surgery on both sides of the pelvis.
More good news - his bowels are beginning to get regular. They are responding more quickly now and are on there way to regularity, which has never before been a problem with Jonathan and I am sure will recover faster than most would expect :)
to prove my point - here's a picture Jonathan once sent to my cell. Guess where he is?? :)
*They are still limiting visitors to family and clergy. If you decide to come to the hospital please be aware of that. There will always be some family in the ICU waiting room. All visitors should make there way there.*
