Here's to wishing your son a successful surgery & speedy recovery.
Prayesr with ya buddy, hope everything goes well for him and you as well

Thanks guys , it's hard to see him like this. It's a facial reconstruction ...... sort of..... They cut his upper jaw into in two places , moved it forward and screwed and plated it in place. They cut through his sinus cavity and he is swollen like ..... unbelievable, lots of bleeding and he's in lots and lots of pain. It's going to be a long night, and a long next few days.

Our son was in a horrendous car accident around 15 years ago, fractured skull, eye socket, broken back (x3), leg (x2), TBI and no scalp on one side of his head.
He was kept in a med. coma for over 2 months followed by years of rehab & surgical reconstruction - we call him our "Million dollar" kid & his birthday #2 is 4/20.

All you can do is be there for him.

Prayers to you my friend, I've been there.

PM if you need.

Wow man, that is a scary thing for you and your family.
I pray I never get that call for either one of my kids or wife.

Hope everything went well.
Actually it is going as well as can be expected. He is at the premier facility for this particular surgery. Or at least that's what they told me. Thanks for asking... I know you are dealing with a similar situation and you know I wishing you and your family all my best.

Peace and love my Riu family.

Hummingbirds keep trapping themselves in my greenhouse. We had to catch this guy and help him outside. I think the poor thing was so scared he didn't know what to do, he just stayed there in my cousins hand. We took him outside and he flew away just fine though. I've never seen one hold still that long.IMG_20180725_205812737.jpg IMG_20180725_205822880.jpg
