The Details of the Surgery

Hi Everyone,

From the time they wheeled Jonathan away to the time docs came to
talk to us was 11 hours. It's been 13 hours since I've seen him so
far. He's still in recovery

The surgeons had to completely reform his bones because they were
deformed and muscles, cut out his elbow, cut his muscle out, drill
holes in his bones and rethread his muscle back to his bone, drill a
tunnel through the center of the upper part of his bone and lower and
insert rods to hold the new elbow in and try to preserve the nerves.
The doctors and nurses came out completely exhausted.

I don't know how one person can take so much pain.

Love you all. Thank you for standing with us.

Carla, Jonathan and Family
