Day 7 Slow and Steady....

We had our first formal meeting with the Attending Physician on Thursday, August 12th. Nothing to surprising – she’s definitly not out of the woods yet.  She still has multiple life threatening issues they’re dealing with, but the doctor is very pleased with her effort. (In layman terms that means she's a real fighter!)  No shock there, we all knew that about Chel   Thursday was mainly spent recuperating from yesterday’s surgery to her femur and Pelvis. They did an MRI of her head and neck Thursday night – preliminary results are good.   There are some fractured vertabrae at T3 & 4 but these will heal on their own, there is no spinal cord injury.  Machel had surgery today to repair her ankle and the last break in her pelvis. She made it through today’s procedure very well, and barring any setbacks this should be her last surgery

  3. Josh & Family. My daily thoughts and prayer is for the fighting spirit of Machel to give her a safe recovery. Also, that God give you and your family peace and healing with the loss of your Father. Keep the home fires burning with the wonderful memories of all the good times together and the anticipation of more to come.
