ENT doctor in and says CT of jaw looks good. Concerned with severe paralysis of left side of face. Not drooling to much. Hopefully temporary nerve irritation. Left ear better, but will remain an UGLY EAR.
Got to have a chocolate shake, which he thought was delicious. Moving better and working on walking a mile. Remains on heparin, tube feedings, and fluids. Oh yah, he is proud he got to pee on his own today:) Foley gone which he says was not a pleasant removal. It made me laugh a bit.

Wednesday Morning

Spencer woke up grouchy this morning, good sign, he gets to eat clear liquids, he is so excited, its been a week since he has eaten anything. Will update again when docs come around. He did get his catheter out this morning, which made him a lot happier.

Finally done with surgery. Now to get extubated without taking out the staff. Two plates at frontal lower jaw, one upper rt, all internal. Doctor says left ear looking better with packing the best he could do-really if it is attached it looks good to a wrestler.

2nd plate is in, working on the ear, should be done in 30 minutes or so.

Just updated from OR staff, Midlower jaw plated and done-working on rt upper jaw (which is tricky re:nerves)-left ear beautification next (not sure Spence cares about that). Looking at completion around 7pm tonite. Praying he does not wake up again like the Hulk on crack. We did warn them though!

Leaving to go to the operating room, will update in a few hours.

Jaw Day

Docs visited early this morning, surgery will start between 1 and 2pm, and should last 2 to 3 hours. The long wait begins.
