Heather in Neverland Posted July 15, 2010 Author Share Posted July 15, 2010 Spoke to John this morning. He is getting better with each hour. He can move everything but he still has a lot of pain in his shoulders. The good news is they have down-graded him from a full halo/neck/chest brace for the C7 fracture to just a rigid neck brace. Hallelujah! He is still in traction until the swelling goes down but should get his brace tomorrow. There was some discussion about him not having his helmet strapped on properly but I won't get into that! And he has agreed to get rid of the motorcycle! However, he did ask that we sell it instead of me smashing it to bits with a sledgehammer (the bike is actually not badly damaged!). Hmmmmmm....that's a tough one.....

Starr Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 With any luck he'll have someone get rid of that bike before you get home. :lol: This is great news with the brace. By the time you get home he could just be healed by the prayer. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rlowetx Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 All of our thoughts for a full recovery. My brother is a c4/c5 quad (diving) and we lived through those initial days in disbelief, hope, fear, faith, despair - you name it. No one should have to go through that - all of our positive energy your way....Lots of protein and PT/OT!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brindee Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 How are things going now? I'm still praying for you to get back safely, and for your dh to have a full recovery! May God richly bless your family! I'd also tell my dh that if he hasn't sold the bike by the time I got back, I'd get to smash it!!! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
