Thank you for this update on his progress. More prayers sent.
You are in my thoughts and prayers.
Prayer Bump
And another prayer bump...
Still praying for you.
Lord, be with the Head Family and their friends, comfort them and give them continued strength. AMEN
My dad is recovering well, he had his 3rd and last surgery on Tuesday (8 hours) to complete the bone graft which they were unable to do during the major surgery due to time constraints. They will be moving him from the ICU unit to a regular room as soon as one is open The doctors are impressed with his response to the surgery at this point and the hopes are that he can be back in Idaho in July instead of August. They are waiting to do the radiation for 5 months so that will require a trip back to Texas this fall. But at this point we are somewhat relieved to have this step of the treatment complete, and hopefully the trials will all be downhill from here, instead of the endless uphill battle we seem to have been fighting lately. We as a family thank you all for your thoughts and prayers and will continue to keep you updated as we have more information.
Your update is very encouraging. I’m sitting here with a sore back and realizing how inconsequential that is compared to what Jeff has been through. I know that Jeff’s family is a great source of strength and support for him, and I can only imagine how difficult all of this has been for you. Moving that return date back a month has got to be an upper for Jeff and is certainly good news for the rest of us. Our prayers for Jeff and his family are ongoing and will continue.
My mom wanted me to pass on to all of you that as soon as my dad feels up to it he will update his website and personally update all of you on here. Knowing my dad I would guess it’s going to be about a week or so, not more than 2 before he updates personally.
Thank you again for all of your support, it’s good to know that my dad has such a community that is behind him and cares for his well being as much as you all do

While we are all eager to hear from him, Jeff shouldn't be in a big hurry to get back here for updating purposes until he really feels up to it, especially since you and Gail have been doing a good job of keeping us informed.
Jeff will continue to have our support and prayers because of what he stands for and who he is.
Thank you very much for the update! There is a large community here praying every day for Jeff’s recovery, and we look forward to each bit of encouraging news. Please relay to him. Thanks.
Thank you for the update, Becki. I will continue to pray for Jeff’s recovery and God’s continued guidance, support and peace for each of you.
See 126 and 128.
Jeff is still in our daily prayers for his recovery!
Post 126, thanks for this GOOD REPORT.
Thanks for taking the time to update us on your father’s progress. We will eagerly await his return to FR. Keep relaying to him how much we care and that we are always praying for him. I hope he got my snail mail card sent earlier this week. It’s a card with a picture of me and my horses inside. When he’s strong enough he can enjoy all the cards he is getting. Give him our best wishes.
Thank you so much for the very encouraging update on your dad! More prayers for Jeff on their way!!
Check out the update @126! {{{hugs}}}

Thanks for the encouraging update.
Praise be to God from Whom our blessings flow......
I think of Jeff and his family often and pray every day for his healing and recovery.
