Ryan, my son is improving. He has gone through four surgeries now and I hope that is it. He had his knee laid open and the knee cap was severed. They reattached the knee cap and took some of the smaller bone out. Then cleaned it out and closed up the wound. His elbow was seperated from his arm and broken off, they cut it open, and used plates and screws to reattach the elbow to the arm bone. His neck was broken but god's hand was there to keep him from being paralyzed. The spinal cord was not damaged(thank you Lord, emoAngel ) so he is able to have full feelings thoughout his body. They had to go in and do surgery on his hip to remove bone to use to fuse to his neck. They then cut his neck open and realigned the bones back like they should be and used the bone off his hip to strengthen that and keep it in place. Then used rods and srews to go over that. I feel the Lord's hands were there guiding those surgeons and they are hopeful that all will take and will be well. He has been given his own room at Erlanger, #6159. Fat Albert came by with food and laughter last night and gave me and the wife all of your best wishes. emoGrouphug Thank you so much, for those of you who have never been through anything like this it is a big help. Ryan was talking and very awake today and he was wanting his phone so he could call his friends. (emoSmile Good sign.) He is in a ton of pain and will be for some time. Please keep the prayers coming and bless you all. emoAngel Jmax

Great news jmax. We will continue to pray and include thanks for the improvementin Ryan and for the skills the Lord has given the medical folks
 
Re: Update on Ryan, please keep the prayer chain going. Jmax

Great news Jim! We'll keep praying and thinking about him. I know how draining something like this can be. When he is back on his feet and well again you will be amazed at how tired YOU are. Take care of yourself and the family.

Jmax, I just found out yesterday morning at the ramp while talking to Fat Albert and MadBomber about Ryan. I'm so sorry that this happened, but thankful that the Lord's hand was in it to protect him and keep him from being paralized.

My wife has just lost her favorite aunt and I had been out of the loop for a couple of days while attending the funeral home and family. We are praying for Ryan's complete recovery. emoGeezer
 
RE: Update on Ryan, please keep the prayer chain going. Jmax

Thanks again to all...I just got home again with the wife. We have been staying at Erlanger with Ryan. He is better this morning and wanted to eat. That is the first time he was hungry since the accident. Three days without food was not good and they told us that if he did not eat today they would have to do it by IV. He woke up this morning and asked when was breakfast??? ;) At 6-1 and 190 he usually eats his share so that was good to hear. I have been passing on all your best wishes and he has been grateful for your concerns and prayers. A few of his friends, our youth pastor and main pastor all made it to his room yesterday and that was as good as any medicen they could have given him. emoThumbsup He can move and feel all his fingers and toes. emoAngel They already have him doing stretches with them to get the stiffness to not set in too bad. I cannot tell you all how much I appreciate all of you and the people who have come to our prayer path and assistence. emoWorthy Jmax

Jim,
We will continue to keep Ryan in our prayers. We had prayer for him at church this morning and I pray that God's healing hands will give him a full recovery.
