Ryan's Superdome Roof Repair

Ryan has been recovering from his surgery for the past couple of days and, while he is somewhat swollen, his doctors were happy with how little swelling there was. The pieces of skull that were taken out months ago went back in nicely and his 'roof repair' is a very positive step towards recovery. He will continue his recovery at University Hospital here in New Orleans for a couple more days and then will make his way back to rehab in Slidell. One thing to take note of is that his doctors felt he has made enough progress so that this surgery was possible to do safely, so not only is the procedure itself a good step, but a sign that things are going well in general. Ryan was definitely experiencing pain and discomfort related to his surgery but after that subsides he should continue to make progress. For the time being, he will be medicated often for the next two days so while you should definitely go visit, it is possible he may be asleep when you do.

On a side note...please someone contact me if you want to go to the Saints game on Sunday in exchange for donating to Ryan's recovery. Have received no interest...and I know that between y'alls love for Ryan and the Saints I just dont see how that is possible. Jim@pnola.org if you want to go! We are raising money for Ryan's house. Ryan just has his roof repaired and we want you to help do the same to his house!.
