I just left the Dean's and things are looking very good. The MRI has confirmed that the ligaments in John's neck are strong enough to aid the healing process. So there will be "no need" for surgery after all. John will be wearing a neck brace for a while but a full recovery is anticipated. The physical therapist came by and John had no problem in getting out of bed and walking around the hospital floor. He will be released today and will be healing at home. Please continue to pray for his progress and for Elaine to have the strentgh to keep him under control. He looks good.
