5 p.m.
Terry is back in the ICU, in critical but stable condition. There was some difficulty in waking him post surgery, but they were able to wake him briefly and he knew his name. This is a good sign. He is now sleeping, but he did open his eyes once when I came in. the Doctors say that he needs sleep. He is breathing on his own now, without the ventilator, but is on an oxygen mask under 100% oxygen. The main concern now is his lungs due to the damage already done by the accident (some bleeding occurred). Kidney performance is still a big concern. Friday, if all goes well, they will perform surgery for the pelvis and to close the 3 openings done for the compartment syndrome. Closure depends on whether the swelling has diminished enough. Infection is still a main concern, so visits are very restricted. Prayers, please!! He needs them.

Everytime I open the web Page to get an update, I see the picture of Terry. I feel like I am looking at you Kati. If Terry is half the person you are, he has the strength and energy to keep fighting and will get through this! Keep strong, prayers are being said all the time for all of you!
