Well Scott finally made it in to surgery at about 12:30. We received the first update from the O.R. and he went to sleep really well. They were able to put the breathing tube in his nose so they will not have to do a trach. They will put metal plates in his cheeks, both sides of nose, chin and upper and lower jaw. They aren't sure whether they will have to tie his jaw shut. They are hoping not to. They are watching his eyes closely to prevent any injury to them during the surgery. We are optimistic that everything will go well. It has been such a relief to actually have him in surgery so we can moved forward to his recovery. Thanks for all the phone calls, txts, and messages from all of you. Thanks also for the many prayers said in his behalf.

Scott is going in to surgery this morning. We are waiting for the doctors to do the assessment this morning then they will take him up. He is very stable this morning. He has been having heart rate issues but they seemed to have gotten them taken care of. They changed how they give him his pain meds which makes him more alert, but he is also feeling a little more pain. His surgery will take about 5-6 hours. He has a lot of family support. He has had family from Colorado and Utah at the hospital. I will report any new info as it becomes available.
