Update:

Went to see Jeromy today....he looks great! Chest tube is gone......ventilator gone......fixing his jaw this week!!!! Still some swelling so replacing skull bone is gonna have to wait a lil while longer but it does seem that new things continue to happen as the swelling goes down. Today he was holding my hand in his right hand which he wasn't doing before and his right eye is open a lil bit!! Not 100% sure but he seems to be looking at us when we talk to him. God is healing him and giving him strength! Thank you all for the prayers and I ask that you keep em comin!!!!

She is posting almost daily updates now...

Ok everyone....they just finished J's jaw surgery. Everything went good, they did have to rebreak the left side but he's good. They put in 4 screws and wired his mouth shut.....which for anyone who actually knows him knows that its good that he's still unconscious or else he would blow up from not being able to run his mouth. LOL No, seriously he seems to be improving daily. His mom said that he has been more responsive today and that the swelling is going down more and more. So keep praying for him and the rest of us as we wait, sort of impatiently, for him to wake up.

Looks like Jeromy has a long long road ahead of him.

Posted on 10/14:
Jeromy was moved from ICU last night!!! He was runnin a temp again this mornin but with some tylenol it came right back down. Still isn't awake yet but that's ok he will wake up when God is ready. Went to see him today and he looks great. He wasn't very active while I was there but his mom said that when she went back in with him that he was a little more active and the fever had stayed down. Praise God!!!! Can't wait til he opens his eyes so that we can really get this show on the road. Its gonna be a long rough time for him but with the love and support his has around him he'll get through it. Please continue to pray for him and the rest of us.

update:

Well CT came back and they said that the inside of the damaged part looked good just the outer part was bad. Dr is gonna wait to put the skull piece back on until more swelling goes down. When I was with him today he opened his eye a little and then after I left his mom text me and said that he had had his eye open for a while and would blink and open it right back up. Looks like he may be gettin ready to wake up. Yay!!! Thank you God for this. Yall keep prayin for him, he still needs the prayers.

Only thing was from yesterday (10/25), she was replying to a DP member:

Engineer:
I will definitely be letting him read this. Or I will read it to him, if need be. I want him to know exactly how many people were pulling for him to get better. He had a thread like this for his brother Brody when he was in the hospital and Jeromy was in awe of how many people responded to his thread. He's a good man and he has a big heart so I felt it was only right for me to start one for him. I love him and I will be sticking by him throughout this long road to recovery.

As for updates, the one post she made on the 23rd read:
I will definitely do that as soon as I get back to Longview to see him.
..so i dont think she's been back to the hospital in a few days.
