Scott was able to have surgery on his neck yesterday morning. They placed two rods and five screws in his neck. Dr. Gardner was not able to replace his skull cap due to there still being some swelling on his brain. The surgery went well, however, and it is a huge relief to us that he has had the surgery and we can stop worrying about damage being done to his spinal cord. Today, though, he has a partially collapsed lung and a bit of a fever. We were hoping to remove him off of the ventilator due to the discomfort that it is causing him but it looks like it will stay in place a little longer.
