I want what Dad has...

The Xray has been changed to an MRI. The doctors think at this point that the ligaments are stretched more than any type of tearing. That will give them the information they need regarding the neck brace. There is a chance that some sort of neck brace will have to stay on during the healing process. The fracture under the left eye has not shifted or separated. So, no surgery for that area. At this point, it does not appear surgery will be needed for any reason.

During my visit today, Tristan was waving and reading cards that were sent from his cousins. After a sip of Mountain Dew, he looked at Dad eating a Payday and said, "I want what Dad has."  He is still on a clear liquid diet, but Dad said as soon as the docs say it's okay, he has one waiting.

He is recovering well, but please continue to pray for the pain associated with recovery. They are managing it at this point, but it will be a concern as he heals.

The report given to them at the ER to his condition now is nothing short of a miricle. When you go from prepare for the worst, to he could be walking out of the hospital within a week, you know God is at work.

The family is overwhelmed by all of God's grace and mercy.
