Hi everyone. It has been a busy few days with some ups and some downs. Some new ex-rays showed that my dad has a fractured right clavicle. Also, after weeks of him telling us he was having pain in his teeth and that he was sure it was an injury stemming from the accident, we finally got an answer. His jaw is fractured and he has been back to surgery to wire it shut and the trach has been put back in. The feeding tube has obviously been put back in as well. The doctors have been keeping a close eye on his infection and keeping it as clean as possible. The doctors are also looking into possible nerve damage b/c he is having some numbness and tingling in some of his fingers. He is still on a trauma unit but has moved to a room where he is having more care. He was in the O.R. a lot this week and is pretty worn out but doing remarkably well for "an old guy".
My mom has a lot more detail for all of you but she has not left my dad's room b/c she does not want to miss any of the doctors that may want to slip in and out. We hope my dad will have a restful weekend (no surgeries planned) and get some nourishment (through the feeding tube).
Please keep your positive thoughts coming.
Dana

Hi, long time since we've spoken sorry to hear the unfortunate news. I just got it from Alyssa. I know you guys are holding together strong just know that the Greene's prayers are with you all! -Kevin

I'm going to try to call you more often as I truly miss you and your wonderful family. We have not stopped praying for all of you, especially for Joe. We're so sorry his recovery is taking so long but I think we knew it would. They predicted we'd all have setbacks so we must "Let go and let God" take charge. I know our gracious Lord has a plan for Joe, we just have to be patient and pray.
Please know you are all in our thoughts and prayers. Lots of Love.
Sue Kitsock and Family
All of you are in our thoughts and prayers. We will keep praying for all to be well and for Joe to be stong and make it through all of this.
