7/20 7:58pm

Sorry for the late posting - just got back from the hospital. Surgery took 4 hours - right femur repaired with a rod. Lower legs cleaned and redressed. Left ulna not done. Will need skin grafts. The doctors removed the external frame off of the right leg and added a "boot" for ankle. Legs wrapped with an ace bandage. Next surgery on Wednesday to fix his wrist. He is still on the ventilator but he is breathing on his own now.
He looked much better today. Puffiness is completely gone from his face now, got another face shave and they left the sideburns and added a "soul patch". He's still rockin' even under sedation :)

  1. Blake and family,

    Shannon and I both send our best wishes and hopes for you recovery. It's been a long time since you were that little kid running around the Boy Scout meetings wondering what the big kids were up to. :) You are in our thoughts and prayers.
