Bruce is in Surgery

About an hour ago Bruce went into surgery. For the first time since this has all happened, the doctors have moved past trying to stabilize him and have started focusing on putting him back together. According to the doctors, they want to move forward fixing the broken bones so his body can focus on healing without being distracted by the pain.
So today they plan to fix his right femur (same process as Shelly's femur plate), fix his left arm, fix his right wrist, and clean out the amputation wound. They also plan to install a clot filter like Shelly has. It will be several hours - but it is step two. Step two is always better than step one! Pray for him and the surgeons.
