John’s wound surgeons have come up with a plan to repair John’s 3 bed sores. On February 27 John will be taken to Legacy Emanuel’s burn unit where his first surgery will take place. There will be a total of 3 or 4 surgeries, each about one week apart. They will be maneuvering flaps of skin, muscle, and fat from nearby areas to cover the wounds.  He will then have to be completely flat for 3 more weeks. Part of that time he will remain at Legacy Emanuel and part of that time he will be back at VIBRA. Legacy Emanuel is the same hospital that April was treated at after the plane crash. After the surgeries and healing time, when John is able to sit up for a few hours at a time; it is our hopes to get him into RIO ( Rehabilitation Institute of Oregon).
