Today begins the test of patience. It's a "hurry up and wait and see" kind of day.
Please know that we will provide you with up to date and accurate information here as soon as we receive it.
He received two pints of blood yesterday.
There are hematomas around his small intestine. These will hopefully resolve on their own.
His lungs are badly bruised. They are monitoring this closely. In the same way that you would favor a sprained body part by not wanting to use it, the body 'favors' the lungs when they are bruised and hurting. Therefore, the body doesn't want to breathe as deeply as it should to clear the lungs and avoid pitfalls such as pneumonia.
Regarding this pelvic surgery yesterday and length of recovery time-we are hearing a very different set of time parameters today. We will continue to hold on to what we were all told yesterday (wheelchair for 4-6 weeks) until Mom is able to confirm differently.
More to come later,

As a family that can absolutely understand and relate to what you're going through, we also know how important all those prayers are. We too had people all over the country praying for Colin and our family. The comfort and importance of all those prayers are beyond belief. There just can't be too many of them! Rest assured they're coming your way. Love,love. Also, Wellington folks are just the very best. Without equal anywhere in the world.
