No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government.

That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

D6 posted this on milnet at 14:23 today(ET):

<DefiantSix> Lorianne's surgery ran about 4 hours; better than they were anticipating.  It turns out that in addition to the two breaks in her jaw, there were seven other fractures they didn't see until they were inside. What a mess.

Just checked over at milnet...here's the latest....from tonight....keep in mind....these time are ET and D6 is MT...so there is a 2 hour time difference.....

[Fri 20:40] <DefiantSix> Her nurse was telling me today that the way she's progressing, they're running out of things that an ICU can do for her, so she'll likely be moved to a regular hoszpital room after the weekend.
[Fri 20:38] <DefiantSix> They've been pulling a lot of the support tubes they've had sticking in her (the respirator tubes, the NG tube, suction tubes, the arterial BP catheter, etc).  her face is pretty much free and clear now, except for the trach tube.
[Fri 20:36] <DefiantSix> Just got back from the Hospital.  She's on a trach tube for the time being, but the respirator is shut down.  She's breathing a mix of 30% oxygen right now, and using her own lung power to do it.

Latest news from D6....again the time posted is ET and he is MT....I hope he is able to get some rest. And it's good that Lorianne's mom is there to help with their little boy and give D6 support.

[Sun 02:17] <DefiantSix> They're talking about stepping down the size of the trach tube and fitting it with a one-way valve in the next 12-24 hours or so. This new apparatus would function as an inlet airway, but close up when she exhales, permitting her - among other things - to use her voice to communicate again.
[Sun 02:10] <DefiantSix> The spleen probably opened up again during or immediately after her surgery Thursday night.  They had to give her another unit of blood through that night to bring her volume back up.
[Sun 02:06] <DefiantSix> She's looking a lot better today: her color has largely returned, and so she looks less like a side of meat, and more like my wife again.
[Sun 02:00] <DefiantSix> Lorianne's mom gave her the option of having her stay the night with her in the hospital, or they'd take the boy home and put him down and she could have me stay the night with her.  She chose me.

D6 checked in right after I was over there this morning......


[Sun 09:58] <DefiantSix> Her trauma doctor just came through on his rounds this morning.  Says they aren't worried about the severing of her left kidney from the system, and unless the stuff they're looking at changes, they intend to leave it in place.
[Sun 09:51] <DefiantSix> PS, they're leaving the spleen to heal on it's own because - at this point - doing so causes her less pain, and creates fewer opportunities for complications in her recovery than taking it out would, in the doctor's opinion.

That is odd that they can just leave a kidney in there with it not attached to anything.

It must still have a blood supply, so even if it's not working, it's not going to rot inside her.  Hospitals are very aware that intrusions carry a lot of risk!

I've been praying, D6, even if I haven't replied before.  It sounds like your family is on the mend, thank God!!

Yep, I'm thinking it is much like folks with no function on dialysis. My brother is like this. They both have blood supply, but one no longer functions due to diabetes and the other from trauma from a car accident a few years back(sounds similar to what Mrs. D6 is going through).

More prayers going up for this family. I remember my brother's recovery from an accident like this. Long road still for her. prayers up

No news so far today.... :(

Let's add a little extra to the prayers, ok Everyone?

Now that Lorianne has had her surgery, the healing pains will begin.....they are often worse than the pain when first injured.

Sorry to hear that. Looks like Defiant Six's wife is recovering despite the severity of the injuries. There is a Christmas miracle right there. I hope for a complete, speedy, and painless recovery.
