Hello everyone a quick update on Jared seen as it’s been just over a week
Jared is doing well. We are back and forth to Hull quite a lot, as you can imagine, but his thumb is doing really well.
He has three wires pinning the bone back together, which are currently poking out of his thumb, and they will be removed in around three weeks. The surgeon explained to us today that he had cut through absolutely everything in his thumb. They have managed to put back together everything they possibly could apart from one artery. For the other artery, they had to take a vessel graft from the back of his hand to repair it.
Unfortunately, that artery isn’t working properly at the moment and is only allowing intermittent blood flow, but thankfully his thumb is currently getting good blood flow, so the surgeon isn’t worried at this stage.
We are back over in Hull on either Friday or Tuesday to have his cast removed and replaced with a lightweight plastic splint. They will also give him some exercises to start doing. It’s a bit complicated at the moment though because normally, after the first week, they would want him to start doing full movements. Because he also cut through the bone, he can’t do that yet as they need to give the bone time to heal! 😂
It’s all a bit of a pain at the minute, but he is well, comfortable, and not in any pain, which is the main thing.
Just a reminder that I am back doing light work on my own and taking bookings I have completely reset the diary due to everything that has happened and me being on my own so please do message me to get booked in
Also as a lot will know our dad is due major back surgery again soon we are just waiting for a date now his echocardiogram results are back that to is not good and will also need heart surgery but that we are not sure about as only just got the results back so I will keep you updated on that as that will effect the out of town jobs
Thank you everyone for your patience as we get through this tough time
Thanks Jace
