He said that Josh is looking great. He actually looks like Josh now. One week ago today, my husband Eric said that he would not have recognized him. That, in itself, is amazing. The plastic surgeon thinks that Josh's scar, which extends from the top of his eyebrow in a half moon shape around to the tip of his jawbone, is going to heal very nicely and probably won't even be visible.
They are waiting for more information about some ligament damage in his neck. They will do a scan, moving his neck little by little, to see the extent of the damage. Until that is done, his breathing tube will remain in. When the tube is removed Josh will have to relearn how to talk and swallow.
The left side of Josh's body is still responding at a slower rate than his right. His left eye remains shut. The pressure stunt that was positioned in his skull has been removed.
Rebeca is looking healthy and well-rested. She is planning on staying up there for the weekend at least. She is taking care of herself, which relieves a major concern because she has been through so much. She sincerely appreciates the support of everyone. She loves the visitors, the well-wishes, the care packages, the meals, everything. I really think it is keeping her going and thinking positive knowing that her family is so supported by angels here on earth, and in the heavens.
If you are interested in bringing a meal to the Stevens family, you may contact Tammi Johnson. She is coordinating all of that, bless her heart!
Yay! We are so happy to hear that Josh is progressing, little by little. What a champ!
