I talked with my mom this morning and she was in with Chris and he’s doing well.
Apparently the extra blood loss yesterday had to do with a blood vessel in his face/head/jaw….ya know, somewhere up above his neck…I’m a little fuzzy on the details – just giving ‘em as I’ve gotten them…..
And so they had to do a little extra work to fix all that up.
What I heard last night was that he had one of those little dental sucker things so that he could suck all the much (and blood) outta his mouth. Fun times, right there, I’m telling ya.
Mom didn’t get in to see him until much later than was expected but she said that he was looking pretty good? Not too swollen – which is nice.
I guess that the blood loss thing and subsuquent clean up ate a little into their time and so they didn’t get his lip done, but….that can be done “in office” apparently – or something like that…..
I got a chance to talk to Chris today and while I didn’t understand anything he said at first…..it’s a little hard to talk when your mouth is wired shut – I did understand him by the end of our short conversation.
He’s doing good. He’ll probably be in the hospital for at least another day or so – I told him to stay and leave the bloody mess there and to heal up a bit before he went home…..So, he’ll probbaly be home either tomorrow or Saturday.
And then the real fun begins…..
