Bettyjo has come out surgery and recovery and is doing as well as expected. The ENT reopened the front incision, the Ortho retrieved the stray bone from the first surgery, and then the ENT created a new fistula. The wound will remain open and will need to heal from the inside out. The surgery team flipped her over and then the Ortho placed a rod in her neck that spans the entire C level vertebra. He said that her range of motion should be good. He did not indicate how long she will be in the hospital, or how long the recovery will take. I am guessing that she will be in the hospital 5-7 days. I am sure she would appreciate calls and visits beginning Friday.
Please pray that her recovery is full and short

Hi Bettyjo,
I'm so glad to hear you came through surgery ok. Sorry about the pain. Just wanted to let you know your family has been in my prayers. I was also wondering if you are up to visitors yet. Since school is out I am more available. Let me know what I can do.
