Hello everyone,
Jeff has just got out of surgery and is now in recovery. Hopefully, he will be back in the room around 8:30 to 9PM. The doctor said the surgery went well. They operated on his right hand. The nerve is in tack and the nerve covering was damaged during the accident. It will take time for the nerve to regenerate itself.
The MRI results on his left side will not be available until tomorrow. Jeff continues to make slow improvements. Please continue to pray for him and the family.
I am asking everyone to please not come to the hospital to visit him yet. The doctor says he needs to rest, and he needs to sleep. He does wake up for a few minutes at the time. He knows he is in the hospital, but he does not remember what happened. He recognizes everyone that he sees, but he just does not remember who he is talking to because of the medication. Every one of you knows him well and if you come up to visit he is going to try to talk to each one of you. He loves each and every one of you. Hopefully, he will be able to have regular visits by the end of the week.
I will have another update for everyone sometime tomorrow morning. It looks like he is going to be here a little while. I know he is going to be excited to see each and everyone of you.
Thanks again for all your prayers, phone calls and support. We love each and every one of you. RJ

Good morning everyone,
I wanted to give everyone a quick update on Jeff. He rested fairly good last night. He woke up several times last night complaining that he was not very comfortable lying in bed. He even had his little smart remark about already being tired of being in the hospital. He is also still complaining a lot about his left shoulder and arm. As I mentioned last night they did perform surgery on his right hand and the surgery went well.
The doctors have just come in and updated me on his condition. They are pleased with his progress so far. They do not plan to do anymore surgeries so they are going to try to start him on some light foods later on this morning. The doctors have looked at his MRI and they think as of now the issue with his left arm and shoulder are due to the swelling of his nerve endings that control his muscles on his left side. They think for right now they are going to wait to see how the nerves recover by themselves. The doctors are also going to let the specialist look at the MRI to see if there is anything else that they might have missed on the MRI.
Thanks again for all your prayers and please continue to pray for him. I will try to update everyone later this evening.
Ronnie G. Jones
