Tip is doing well today, Saturday, resting. The ventilator was turned off for 8 hours today which is good. I found out today the doctors did do surgery on his right femur yesterday as well as the right lower leg, left arm and heel/ankle.
Monday morning they will be doing his left femur. I'm not sure but I think this will be the end of the major surgeries. As stated before the heel and ankle site will most likely need more surgeries.
His blood pressure was elevated for a time today and there are many reasons for this - discomfort, pain, he was moved to different positions a couple of times. His body temperature was slightly elevated but the doctor doesn't think it is infection as his white blood count is good. All in all he is doing well. He will have another rest day tomorrow before the surgery on Monday.
Thanks for the update. As they say, one day at a time.
