Thirty-nine days after his accident, Keith finally had surgery yesterday and it went well. They braced his neck and decompressed his spine. The next step is to get him off the respirator. They are attempting to do that today. He had previously gone over 24 hours off the respirator but went back on it for surgery. Once that occurs he can be moved to a regular room and out of intensive care for the first time since the accident. When he is off the respirator they can cap it and he can talk and talk and talk and talk. You know Keith will be talking the nurses ears off. After about a week at Jefferson recovering from surgery, he should begin intensive rehab at Magee. Keep the prayers and good thoughts coming.
