From Gunter's wife Sam , today -

Gunters operation is over. He went in at 8am and came out at 12:00, so it took much longer then anticipated. I have only seen the anesthesiologist who says the operation went well. I will wait to see the Maxilo facial surgeon, Dr Kourie and revert once I know more but for now I’m happy that the surgery is over and the road to recovery can commence. He will remain under heavy sedation which is a good thing to allow him to heal and remain calm for the next few days.

Received from Sam , report on Gunter's progress -

The Maxilo surgeon who operated on Gunter’s jaw is happy with the progress so far. The general surgeon is keeping Gunter induced as the internal swelling around his airways is not subsiding and until this happens will need to keep him on the ventilator which means keeping him induced so he doesn’t pull the ventilator out. In the meantime the physio has picked up some issues with his left hand and both his legs/knees which we don’t understand what it is yet. He also still has a temperature and we are waiting to get the blood cultures back.

News from Gunter's wife Sam -

So finally today I have good news, it’s our Fathers Day blessing. The general surgeon stated bringing Gunter out of the induced coma on Friday but I left feeling very demoralized as he wasn’t calm at all and completely incoherent. Yesterday morning was much of the same but last night he seemed to be coherent and this morning he is fully coherent! He asked what had happened and had no idea that it has been 2 weeks that he has been in an induced coma but he understands everything and is fully concious. The treatment for his pneumonia has brought his temperature down and I will get an update on his progress from the doctor hopefully later. Thank you for all your prayers and support, we are very grateful and could not have managed without all your love. Thank you from Jordan, Jamie and especially from me.
