From our friend Bob Mills:
Update on our buddy Alan Crawford. Alan underwent about 3-4 hours of surgery today, and things went very well. Lots of smiles on the faces of Sherri (Sherri Crawford), Alan Jr., Christina Christina McDowell and Ollie's faces when they came in from the surgeon's debrief. All burned areas were debrided, and temporary grafts were put in place on most areas. Permanent grafts were done to one hand and to his neck (that's a step-by-step process). Doc said Alan was strong throughout the surgery. When he was brought up from recovery, Sherri and family manners that got a closer look said he looked much better than before. It looked like the swelling had gone down a bit, and some of the bad skin had been removed from his head, so he just looked better to all. Still very deeply sedated, and now resting.
One big first step in a long path ahead...and a very good first step! Alan may have the next grafting surgery as soon as Wednesday, so for now it's time for a little surgical recovery and rest.
They've moved the Crawford clan into a more private waiting area with tables, chairs and a couch. They are taking very good care of Alan and his family, and the mood is very good. Ollie is showing pics of Alan with Bob Hoover right now...good stuff!
Family and friends keeping a constant vigil, and they know that love and good wishes are coming in from all the circles in Alan's life. On behalf of them, thanks for all the great posts, notes and calls! We share each one with the family. Keep 'em comin'!
