Second Surgery

Mason's second surgery went well. They mostly cleaned and irrigated the wounds. The doctor was very optimistic and said Monday should hopefully be his final surgery.

He is still in a neck brace and after surgery they re-x-rayed his neck to check for any so far unseen damage. We are awaiting the results. He did have a vanilla protein shake for lunch, his first food since the accident so he's making progress.

He is in a new air bed that auto shifts to keep him comfortable. He also has a new pain management system that allows him to administer his own morphine. He is in alot of pain so hopefully this system will lower his pain and eliminate the swings from larger doses.
