Up in His Room!

So, he's finally out of recovery and up in his room. Back on the 8th floor, 8300 unit this time, instead of 8200.

He looks GREAT, especially compared to how he looked after his first surgery. He's awake and happy and chatting, although he'll probably conk out pretty soon from the morphine. Here he is busily texting away on his phone and sipping apple juice.


More good news; another window bed! What were the odds? The only downside is that it is really hot outside and I'm getting baked, but he has a very nice view of the mountains (at least what you can see of them through the smog.)




His left eye, where they revised the orbital floor looks very good, but then there's probably a lot of swelling to follow. And his forehead scar revision looks fantastic, as you will see for yourself.



So far, so good. Hopefully he'll get an early release tomorrow and we can get him back home.


More later.

  1. Great to see Jake looking so good! Can't wait to see his close-ups. Just read Grandma the blog update. She's thrilled that he's doing so well.

    Give Jake a kiss for me. At least this time, there are kissable spots on his head!!
    Love, Aunt Terry

  3. Hi there,
    Glad to see that Jake has had is op and come out ok, the kid is amazing he really is.
    We were wondering, how he was and said a little prayer for him while we were away, please don't ask about our holiday, go and see my blog, I think it was us who needed the prayers ha ha.

    I can't believe how well Jake has bounced around all this and has done so blooming well.
    Maybe he was a cat in a previous life and has a few lives left over from then.

    Much love to you all, but especially to our superstar Jake.
