Moving Out of ICU Today

After 7 surgeries and a few days in ICU it looks like Lori will be moved today. The break of her leg was very severe. It involved breaking both bones in the lower leg. Because the break was also compound the doctors had to perform a muscle and skin graft to repair the skin around the break. Unfortunately the day after that graft surgery the graft started being rejected and blood flow was compromised so Lori was rushed back into surgery to make repairs and salvage the graft on Sunday. After close monitoring it looks like the graft is taking and today she will be moved out of ICU and will begin "leg dangling" beginning the recovery process. No word on when she'll be able to go home but excited we're making steps in the right direction.
