Four year old Jayton Tidwell remains in serious but stable condition at Memorial Hermann Children's Hospital after nine hour surgery to reattach his right arm above the elbow. Lead surgeon Dr. Mark H. Henry says the first 24 hours of blood flow are a positive sign and the boy should be able to live a nearly normal life though full use of the limb is unlikely.
