Jay had surgery on his jaw for a total of 5 hours today. The surgery was successful and the jaw will be wired shut for a few weeks. He is expected to leave the ICU in a couple of days, although at this time it is unknown whether he will remain in the same hospital or be moved to a military facility. Also we don't know how long the total time in the hospital may end up being, as he currently has both a trach tube and a feeding tube. He remains coherent, breathing on his own, communicating via pen and paper, and all of his vital signs are excellent.
One passenger was thrown from the vehicle in the accident, and he is on crutches but has been released from the hospital. One passenger has a broken neck and is in a halo, but should be released soon. The condition of the taxi driver is unknown. The girl that hit them was driving a big truck and had a .17 BAC.
Get better Jay!
