Dustin said that he visited with Jeff and Gail today. Jeff had a rough weekend, but is progressing with recovery. Was on ventilator after surgery, came off Sunday!! He is able to maintain respirations independently. He is able to move legs, arms, etc. He knows where he is at, recognizes who he is with, etc. Dr. reported all cancer was removed!!
Keep praying, y'all! His continued recovery is now what we need be praying for... and that the cancer stays GONE!
Pray for Gail, and of course the family, too!
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.
Sincerely -
Becki Hagen (Jeff Head’s Daughter)
