Day 6-November 3 (After Surgery)

Jalin has just come out of surgery. The doctor has said that she is a miracle. They went in through her lower back with minor incisions. They put in 4 screws to reattach her pelvis with her tail bone. The doctor said that her vessels, muscles, and tendons have all realigned. This is a miracle in itself. Jalin will have to undergo another surgery in 3 to 7 days. This surgery will be less major and less life threatening. This will realign the front of her pelvis. They also hope to fix her collar bone during this surgery. The doctors hope to remove the ventilator within a few days. She is still in ICU, but will be able to sit up in the bed soon. Her traction has been removed, which is great news. The doctor said she will be in less pain now than she was before. They are not sure how much longer she will be in the hospital, but she is not going to be able to put any weight on her legs for three months. As long as that may seem, there is still so much hope in it. The doctors say Jalin is a great patient and they have full confidence in her. The time limits for her recovery will change depending on her rate of recovery. Thanks so much for praying for Jalin. She still has a long road ahead of her, but the worst is behind her. She and her family will continue to need your prayers and support during her rehabilitation. The Lord truly worked a miracle through Jalin.
