My Dad has been stable enough for them to go in today and repair his leg. If they have enough time, they will also work on fixing his left arm and possibly his right wrist. He is still on the ventilator, however he is doing really well at this point. He will remain under sedation for another day or two at the least before they allow him to regain conciousness.
Some more good news is that he is now able to tolerate being fed through a tube. They had attempted feeding him on Monday night, however, he didn't tolerate it well. They tried again on Tuesday night and he did better, so he is now able to 'eat' gruel through a tube. I know that doesn't sound appetizing, but at least he doesn't have to taste it and he can get more nourishment to help him get stronger and recover.
I will post another update after his surgery today to let everybody know how it goes.
A place where we can all come together to show our love and support and get semi-regular updates about Dave.
