This is a shot of Jaime just hours after his fateful collision with a charging rhino! (or something like that!) He’s lucky to have gotten away with nothing more than a broken jaw!
Despite the all the pain, swelling and stitches, Jaime is doing fine today. The doctors in Mombasa actually did a very poor job of diagnosing the injury. Fortunately for us, Jaime asked his dentist to check things out 2 weeks after the injury because his teeth were still not fitting together properly. The dentist recommended a facial surgeon who, after a head CT Scan, saw that the jaw was severely broken in two pieces.
Last Wednesday, the 5th of July, he underwent 6 hours of surgery to put things back in place. Today a week later, he’s doing much better, with minimal swelling and almost no pain. His jaw is and will be, wired shut for two full weeks. (Lord willing, the wires will be removed on the 19th and all will be well.)Thanks for all your emails and continued prayers!
