UPDATE 7/14

Michele and I headed out at 5 am this morning by ambulance. Her pre-opp took about 2 hours and she was off to surgery at 7:30am sharp. She was back to post opp exactly 2 hours later and fully awake 15 minutes after that. She is responsive to questions, waives her left hand and can move both legs. Basically everything she was able to do before the operation. We have yet to see improvements but it is too early for that anyways. Michele will be watched closely for the next 7-10 days to make sure she does not get any infections causing us to have to remove her bone flap. Michele will have a CT scan tonight and will be released from the hospital tomorrow if all is well. She will be going back to Kindred for more rehab over the next few weeks in hopes to eventually get to Craig for intense 30 days of therapy. Michele should have her Trach taken out sometime tomorrow or Friday. Im sure she will love that being out of her throat.

Thank you for all the prayers for Michele they seem to be working.
