Quick Update

I'm on my way back to the hospital in a moment because Jere is having another surgery today. If all goes well they will stitch up both incisions on his legs and we might be able to go home tomorrow. If all doesn't go so well they will only do one today and then do the other one later this week, possibly with a plastic surgeon if the muscles expanded too much for the skin to cover up. In which case, we'll be in the hospital for a few more days at least.

Jere has been doing pretty well. Sunday and Monday the physical therapist was in and was able to help him get from the bed to a reclining chair (by means of a walker) for a few hours, which helped his mood immensely. They are getting a boot cast to put on his good ankle (the one with the hairline fracture and pulled ligaments) so that he can hopefully put weight on that, because he's not going to be putting weight on the other one anytime soon.

Thanks to everyone for thinking of us, for calling and visiting and everything else. That more than anything else has been helping us all get through all this.
