Hi All: Today was a quiet day for Jer--he didn't have any visitors, but he was moved twice during the day. They moved him to 7B18 and because that is a 4 bed room and he didn't like it, they moved him to 7B22. He finally got to see the orthopedic doctors, and they indicated to him that he basically "blew out" his right knee--all the tendons and ligaments on the outside of his knee are "gone". They are referring him to a sports medicine doctor to get that part of his body taken care of--and he would like it sooner than later. He was hoping to hear something later today, but when we left at 9 tonight, he still hadn't heard. Maybe tomorrow they will come and let him know when they will work on it. Other than that, things are going the same as before--he is still required to lay flat or at least not over 15% incline, so he isn't up and about like he was before. He also in on a 2 hour rotation schedule--every two hours, the nurses roll him for one side to the other--he is not allowed to lay flat on his back--he has to be "propped" up some so there is no pressure on the spinal incision.
My plan is to go up and see him again in the morning and then come home to work tomorrow night, so I will update you again after that.
Love to you all. Carm

Sorry Jer had no visitors yesterday, but maybe that was a good thing.....that way he can rest and get his strength back....hopefully he will hear from the doctors about his knee today and get that moving so he can start the rehab in earnest once the spinal drain is out.....I am sure he will be ready to get rolling after all this laying still.....We keep praying and know that God is still listening and working with Jer......We love you guys......
Dear Family & Friends of Jeremy, im sorry to hear that he didnt have any visitors yesterday. but....everybody is hoping and praying that he is going to be alright here soon. he is in all of our thoughts and prayers each and every day here at OM! Please let Jeremy know that a few of the people that ride his bus want to come and see him sometime but right now i havent been told what hospital he is in or anything like that. he has given a few of us that think the world of him a HUGE scare....but we all love and miss him anyway!
You're in our thoughts and prayers always.
Love......Dee Samples & the kids on Bus 30
I'm sorry for Jer's set back but I'm still praying for his full recovery. I'm Praying for his family too. God Bless You !!!
Sometimes you just have to rest, or try to rest, and not be entertaining when you are hurt and healing. I am sure Beck and Bob and Rhea and Jamie will be back up to visit as soon as they can. Myself cannot make that far of a trip just now. Anyway know that you are loved and prayed for soooo much. Keep your sense of humor, even though it is a tough thing to do in your circumstances.
Love, Kathy
Hope you're feeling better, or as better as you can. Hopefully soon you will be back up with your rehab again. Just concentrate on yourself and not worry about everyone else. Don't worry about asking for help..that's what we're here for. Take care..that goes to all of you.
Along with the last comment, I also wanted to let Zach know that I'm thinking of him too. You are doing great.
