Alec has finished with the ops for awhile and the doctors are now just waiting for the pelvis to knit together...four big breaks all pinned with a stabiliser....big metal meccanno rods holding in place whilst it mends....the stabiliser comes off ( depending on an X-ray) either in one week or three.
Alec hates the pelvic stabiliser as it prevents all movement and keeps him flat on his back, theoretically when that is surgically removed, he can sit up. The shoulder injury is going to take up to 9 months to heal properly...full movement. The ribs and fractured skull are fine.
The right leg has had heaps of work done, multiple tendon and ligament repairs...mechanically the orthopaedic surgeons are very pleased with their work but they said that the nerve damage is inoperable and Alec has no feeling in that leg from the knee down so his foot will drag.
There is foot surgery coming up for that but it is an unknown as to how the nerves can regenerate. The leg is a 20 week recovery. We are now past the five week mark. Alec has very emotional days but is generally very strong and brave.
