The ICP dropped low enough for Jess to have surgery on his jaw. At 9:45 P.M., Jess went in for surgery to repair his broken jaw and the surgery is scheduled to last 2.5 hours. They will also put a tracheatomy(sp?) in and take out the tubes from his mouth. His mouth will be wired shut for about 6 weeks. We know he will feel better after this surgery and then he can focus on coming out of the coma. We are in the surgery waiting room, awaiting the good news. We will give updates in the morning.
