Latest Update: He's in the car on his way home! :) This is good as we are suppose to have a major ice storm starting tomorrow morning. I'd like to personally thank everyone for their prayers as they worked as i hope they would!
They said everything will heal fine except for one of the fractures to the skull. They found a hairline fracture that runs across the nose between both eye sockets. This produced an air pocket behind the nose and one behind a eye. They said these will go away in time but dont see the fracture ever healing. This will result in lots of antiboitics during the early stages in life. So everytime he gets a cold they said there's a chance of the infection reaching his brain. This is the doctors only concern.
The ear will heal fine and most of his hearing should return. I broke my ear drum while a child and only lost the lower frequencies which resulted in going to speech therapy for the first 4 grades of school. Looks like he will be following in my footsteps. This isnt too bad as i had a great life so far! ;) He'll just have a tough few months coming up til the swelling goesn down and the internal brusing heals.
Well i'm dead tired from all the stress this has caused the family. Not to mention i had to return to work today for the first time since late September. Over all it wasnt bad except i wound up putting in a 10 hour day. Anyways i'm very happy now and hopefully will beable to sleep better tonight.
