In ICU

Jackson left recovery to ICU around 4:30. We were able to meet him at the elevators and go up with him. He looked so good! No more wires! Just a little head cap and a few drainage lines. They also have him off the ventilator. He is doing really well! The surgeon did say he would have a temporary weakness on his left side, but he is already moving his left hand.

Jack will be in ICU until tomorrow and then should be back in a regular room. We will be in the hospital another week, and then in Detroit another 7 - 10 days after that. We now hope for a speedy recovery!

I've been following Jackson's journey since Danielle posted about his surgery on Trevor's blog. My son, Ryan, had surgery almost 3 years ago with Dr. Chugani's team and your posts bring back so many memories!

I'm glad everything is going so well. You'll see your old Jackson back in about 5 weeks. I look forward to reading about his progress:-)

Thank you Lord for keeping Jack safe and for guiding the doctors during this surgery!!! We will be praying for a quick recovery and for Jackson's complete healing. Thanks for all of your updates and pictures - it is so hard for us to be so far away from you all.

Love you bunches,
Maggie
