Safe travels, I hope everything turns out alright.
 
Thanks to all for your good wishes.

We saw David in ICU around midnight last night. Then we spent a good part of today with him. His surgery went well. Although they did cut his collarbone, they put in a plate and screwed it back together again. Our 13-year old granddaughter who broke her collarbone 2 weeks ago will have more trouble with hers than David will have with his. They pulled another blood clot out of his artery again. This time it was only 7 inches long. They replaced a piece of his artery with a piece of leg vein. He has been told (since it has happened twice in 6 months) to expect it to happen again. David is in a private room, and should go home in a few days. You should have seen his room - Hubby & me, David's wife, 2 friends, Davids 2 sisters, and 4 of their children all there at the same time. He was asleep.

We'll stay a few more days before flying back to New York. I'm overdue for both my BFR and medical, so Hubby is doing all the work.
 
What an ordeal. Sorry he's struggling with this problem and that you must watch your boy go though it all. Hope they get it under control and he makes a full and speedy recovery. It's no fun when kids are hurting

I'm glad to hear that the surgery went well he's on the mend. Safe trip home, Peggy.
 
I can't believe I missed this thread.

I'm glad that David's surgery went ok. Hopefully he will be able to rest some.

How are you and your husband holding out?
 
Oh, Brook, I just noticed your message. David called again to say that he is starting to feel some tingling and discomfort in his elbow. No problem in his hand yet, and no pain, but he is going to see the doctor at once.

Their life is so full now. His wife will give birth to their first child around Thanksgiving. They were living in my house in Tulsa, but they have bought their own home in Collinsville, now and are moving in there. Both of them are working and doing well. David was just promoted.
