It's a Miracle!

That was Robert's words after surgery!  The doctors said the surgery went very well.  They removed all the dead bone and implanted the metal plate.  They did not have to remove any teeth and said they were very pleased that there was blood in the bone under the deterioration.  Best case scenario is the jaw will heal and no more surgery.  The nurses ask Robert what his pain level is and he just says "I do not know how to answer that", he has had such pain for so long and this is a different pain.  They had a very difficult time intubating, he said that it took 4 people to hold him down while they put the tube down his nose.  That was the worst part of the day. 

We would like to say a very special thank you to our Angels of the day:  Sister Sandi, Mother and Benny, Linda and Jay, Cassie and Sandy and Kevin Nelson and Lisa Wood.
