This is the latest from her dad. Very promising! All the love is working its magic!
As of this afternoon, Thursday, January 22, Lindsay’s prognosis appears a little more cheerful.
First, she had surgery yesterday and a pin (screw) was inserted to secure her sacrum. Her orthopedic surgeon said the operation went “perfectly.” He is now looking at inserting a screw in her clavicle to provide support for her use of crutches or other assistance while her pelvis and clavicle heal.
The neurosurgeon removed the metal monitoring device from her head yesterday after her sacrum surgery so they were able to do an MRI on her head and upper spine. The results showed a slipped disc in her neck which will necessitate a neck brace for 6 weeks or so but probably will not require surgery. The MRI also showed some bruising on the outside of the fibrous nerve connections between the left and right sides of the brain called the splenium of the corpus callosum. There appears to be no or very minor actual tearing. Time will tell if there is any short term memory loss or other cognitive loss but we are very optimistic about the long term outcome.
Currently they are in the process of reducing the drugs used to keep her under so she can wake up. As you know, Lindsay has always had an indominatable sprit and thus is somewhat combative as she attempts to wake up. We love it.
We feel all your love and concern as we go through this. Your prayers and thoughts have obviously been helping. We, Chalan, Constance, and I can’t really begin to thank you for your love, concern and support.
