Daniel came out of surgery about 12:30. The surgery lasted about 4 1/2 to 5 hours. Everything seemed to go well. He has plates and screws supporting all of the broken bones. He has fluid in his lungs now, so we will have to watch that. He said his bones were strong and his age helps to know that it will all heal well.
Again, Dr. Morvant warned that he is still at high risk for clots, which could be fatal. He is still far from being clear. Typically, each day he has a better and better chance, but he had to get through this surgery first. I thought it was just the first 48 hours, but apparently, it is still very serious right now too.
He also received more blood today with the possiblities of more tomorrow.
He is moving to recovery and then back to ICU until tomorrow or Sunday.
