Following the successful removal of his chest tube last night, Jimmy and Janelle headed back to Craig to get started on the rehab again. He was fortunate to get a large private room, which was a huge blessing since he had a roommate that frequently had bells and whistles going off and he had a hard time sleeping there. His doctor at Craig is re-evaluating his condition and suggested putting his IV pain med back in place. Jimmy's willing to tough it out, but the doctor thinks it would serve him better to have heavier duty drugs for a short time.
We're so thankful that he "survived" his hospital stay and is back at Craig. They pride themselves on continuity of care, meaning he has consistent staff that assist him each week as opposed to a hospital where you have different people coming and going all that time. Janelle and the family also have access to housing there and we're hoping they can reserve that for the time they need.

Jimmy, Janelle, & family--
ReplyDeleteI'm so thrilled that Torrey forwarded this site to me, but not near as thrilled as hearing that Jimmy is back at Craig (I know how much better that is than the hospital) and making progress. You all have been in my prayers constantly since this all started. I do believe in God's power and I am sure He is with all of you!

ReplyDeleteHey Jimmy and Janelle - Wow God is good! Way to go Jimmy. We are so glad the second surgery opened things up for you. Craig is a great facility. When is your Christmas party in their community building? Todd and I will continue praying for you from Highlands Ranch. Love you all!
