We made it through day 6! Jess looked so much better today without all the tubes in his mouth. He has his jaw wired shut, but he has less pain. He had rough post-surgery day with spiking temperatures, blood pressure, ICP, and pulse. He was sleeping peacefully when we last held his hand an hour ago. We have been getting all of your messages and feel so blessed to know how much love is coming our way. We know we are in your hearts! Good night...
