John had surgery this morning and is resting comfortably in his hospital room with Holly by his side. With this surgery as with the one on March 10, Holly stayed overnight with John to make sure he is well cared for. At some point tomorrow, John will be transferred back to TIRR to once again begin the rehabilitation process. His physicians were able to only open the previous incision on his back and replace the leads from the Baclofen pump which was good news in that they didn't need to open the area in his abdomen where the pump was placed. Evidently, the leads move in some patients so although this is a bit of a setback, it's not all that uncommon. I snapped this photo in the evening and don't let the hospital gown fool you...John is an incredibly resilient man and he is recuperating from this surgery well. Hopefully, over the next few days and weeks, John will be able to resume all normal activities and the pump will allow him to have less pain and be more mobile. As always, thanks for keeping us in your thoughts and prayers.
