jens first surgery

Jens first surgery was today. They used pig skin on her left arm to do the skin graph. They used that instead of the skin on her thigh because it doesn't absorb in fection as easy as human skin, and it heals faster. While they were in surgery they took the tube out that was draining from her bladder. While they were in surgery they did find that her muscle on her left shoulder is torn from the impact of the seat belt. At first i thought it was her tendons and ligaments but it was just the muscle which is so much better. She also both her ankles are hurt. One was broke before the accident. She rolled it in heels at work and broke it which sounds just like Jen. Lol she is definitely clumbsy. Her left arm is broke. In multiple places. But honestly she is stable and doing good. They are not sure a why she hasn't woke up because they stopped giving her sedation medicine earlier this week, of course until today when she went in for surgery. Nothing has shown up on any test. I think god is taking care of her. I think he is letting her sleep peacefully through these rough times. I am sure she is dreaming of floating down the cold river with a beer in her hand. (thats what Dad keeps telling her when he sees her and talks to her) Our main concern is getting her fever down and keeping it down. She is on the right path though. The things they found today can very easily be fixed. It feels nice to give everyone good news! Jenny has been getting a lot of letters through the hospital's e greetings. We appreciate them so much. They mean a lot to us. Each one is being read to her. Thank you so much for sending them. Please don't stop. Many people have asked us If we are going to set up an account for donations. We are in the process of seeing how that works. I will let everyone know. I love "jenny angels" that is awesome and very perfect!!! I am going to find out about the bracelets tomorrow. Thank you everyone who has prayed and kept up with her progress. Mom wanted me to tell everyone that. We are making her a binder for all of her letters and cards. We have a huge stack full. Some are very touching. Sometimes mom has to stop reading it to jen and come back to it later. Until tomorrow........
