Hi everyone,

Thanks for all your words of encouragement. John was in surgery for 7 1/2 hours. He is doing well. He is in ICU - I saw him this evening but they are keeping him sedated until they take the breathing tube out (tomorrow morning?). I'm afraid to tell all of you that I was told they are worried about his neck - when they took the X-Rays on Friday the neck portion was blurry but the doctor thinks he saw something - he's afraid it also might be fractured - guess we'll find out in the next few days.

I will be going to hospital first thing in the morning and will post when I get home tomorrow night to update - not sure what time that will be!

Again, thanks and I'll show John your messages.

Maggie - I assume he'll be there at least a week but I'm not sure at this point.



Joanne
