All the kids and I drove down to see Greg today. We are home now. All went well. Greg is doing pretty good. He has found new areas of soreness today. The surgery will be on Monday but we do not have a time yet. Matt and Greg were able to talk Kim into coming home tonight to get some rest. She is very tired. So is Matt. She is just very weary and it will be nice for her to sleep in her own bed. She didn't want to leave but decided that it would be good for everyone. Hopefully Greg can get some sleep tonight too.
The surgery on Monday will start out as an exploratory surgery to see what the extent of the damage is. If they feel it is stable they will close him up and let it heal on its own. If the damage needs repair, that will be determined then. The surgery could be anywhere from 5 minutes to 5 hours. Either way he will have lots of recovery time. Time to heal and do therapy. He will not be able to bear weight for up to 3 months. Please be praying that the damage is not extensive and the healing will be quick.
Please also pray specifically for Kim to have peace in all that is happening. It is a heavy load. Pray that she will lean on the Lord and her family.
