The Wreak.. Part 2.. A New Day...

The morning after his accident, when I went to the hospital, Mr. D was a completely different person. He was sitting up in bed and even had a welcoming smile when I walked through the door. He said he had an uncomfortable night with pain meds for helping. It was such a relief. 
The doctor came to see him, and he said that the procedure had gone well, but unfortunately, the spleen was dead, but they had used a new procedure which had only been around for about 10 years. Now bear in mind Im not medically savvy.. but the gist is they put a coil on the blood supply to the spleen and are hoping that new veins and new blood vessels will grow again, meaning that the spleen could actually come back to life. No guarantees, but wouldn’t that be amazing!! 

I asked when he could come home. The doctor said it would be about 2 to 3 days After he seen the physiotherapist. I was confused... a physiotherapist for spleen??. "Oh no," he said "he’s got tiny fractures down his neck and spine, but luckily they’re all in places where they are not mobility or life-threatening... and will heal themselves"  

So later this afternoon, the physiotherapist came and Jeff had to go for a little walk with him to see how he was doing. Apparently he did amazingly well and he said if Jeff was up to it, he could actually go home 

So tonight MrD came home.. Of course hes still pumped with all the painkilling drugs and I had to go in search of his meds from the hospital and that’s the next story..

But the main thing.. MrD is home... and on the mend..

Thank you Jesus

Love and Hugs
