The good news is that the Flex Xray came back clear. There is still significant pain in the neck that has the doctors a bit puzzled. They also had to put him on respiratory therapy in order to help clear the secretions that he is unable to clear on his own. There is a concern for pneumonia if the secretions are not cleared properly.
I have not received any information yet on whether or not they are going to do more tests on the neck area to figure out the pain issue. Right now all are praying for pain relief and that the lungs become clear to the point he no longer needs the therapy.
His recovery has been so good and positive that I think we forget that he has been through a major trauma. I know I do at times.
Please check back when you get time. As information is known, it will be posted.
Thank you to those who are leaving comments. We are hoping to show the Clark Family just another way people who love and care about them have show their support. It is very encouraging to them.

You are in my thoughts and prayers daily. My church here in Kansas has been praying for Tristan and your family as well and often ask me how he is doing. It is great to hear of his progress, truly miraculous!
