Monday, July 21. Surgery!

Justin had surgery today to repair the compression fracture on the left side of his head.  The doctors also fixed a tear in the dura, the tough membrane that covers and protects the brain.  He is the owner of an awesome Harry Potterish lightning scar:

Surgery went well, and the waiting game continued to see if his ICP would normalize.  As his ICP comes down, the nurses will start weaning his sedation and pain medicine so that he can get off of the ventilator.
