Back in Denver

Well the drive to Denver could not have went any better. Briley was an absolute angel and the roads were great. We only had about an hour of snowy roads! My mom flew into Billings and I picked her up and then we drove the rest of thew way together.

Jess' flight went great too. It was his first time flying by himself since the accident. And it went just as smooth as could be.

This week Jess has all of his pre-operative appointments and then he will be admitted on Sunday night with the surgery on Monday morning. He found out today that the surgery will last anywhere from 6-10 hours. So Monday will be a day of praying and waiting for me.

Tomorrow we have the last of his appointments with the doctors and surgeon. So hopefully we will remember all of our questions and feel a little more informed on what to expect. And then we are hoping to go and experience a little bit of Denver. We are trying to get Bronco tickets for Sundays game, but getting Handicap tickets are harder than I thought it would be. So we'll see what happens.

Thank you so much for all your thoughts and prayers! They help us pull through until we are home again.

Dear Emily and Jess;

Though we have never formally met, I feel as if you are a part of my family. After learning of the accident last fall, I have followed the blog and watched the amazing journey you have been traveling.

Lindsey recently emailed news of the trip to Denver for another operation. I am sure there are other places you would rather be, but I will pray that the Doctors are successful in easing Jess's pain.

I think you are both amazing and I pray for continued strength. God bless.

Fondly,
Fran Middaugh
