Update 3, 8/2/12

Dr. Killabrew informed us that Jesse's surgery went very well and and that he was probably was not going to need another one for about a year. He was able to put a baloon in the nasal cavity that would stay there as he healed. We still have a long way to go before he is ready to come home. He may take two weeks or two months at this point he he needs to remain sedated so the broken bones can begin healing which may take up to six weeks. At this point we are seeing some good signs but we are reminded that unforseen things can happen.
