Please pray for Jack. He is in HUMC in ICU. He got hit in the neck with a lacrosse ball and landed up with a fracture larynx and damage to vocal chord. Nancy and Tom are hoping to know more this afternoon on how the Doctors will proceed. Jack continues to smile.
Update on Jack. Surgery to repair larynx and possibly vocal chords is today in the morning at 11. He is being a trooper! Will be in PICU for about a week. Thanks for all the prayers , calls , emails and texts. I have gotten all of them and are trying to keep up on them but it’s basically impossible. Now the funny part ……my doctor who did my surgery is here doing surgery today and is making a house call to me to remove my stitches. How awesome is that!
