I REALLY hate group texts. Especially when I don’t know everyone in them so I apologize, but I don’t have it in me to send these all separately and personally. And you all know and love either my hubby, me, or our precious boy, Michael.
To catch you up, Bob was in a serious MVA on 3.20 at around 4:30 pm. He was unconscious at the site but was breathing and had a pulse. Was taken to Atlanticare AC Trauma Center.
Updates from overnight 3.20-3.21:
Still unconscious on ventilator. I slept for about an hour and a half. We’ll be here in the hospital awhile. Mike, Terry and Pastor Chris were here at the hospital when he was first brought in. His brother Kevin has been here since 10 pm. Bob localizes to pain. Meaning he reaches for where he’s being pinched or poked. Doesn’t consistently respond to commands. Like wiggle toes and squeeze hands. He is moving more, just not on command. They are cutting back his oxygen level to 50% bc his blood gases came back with good numbers this morning. This means that he is still getting the same amount of air and pressure from the vent. Just lower concentration of oxygen because he doesn’t need as much pure oxygen. Getting an MRI this morning and then a consult with neurology or neurosurgeon depending on results. He’s also had a fever overnight. Off and on with a max of 101.8. They have given him Tylenol and packed him in ice bags. It could be from the little bit of fluid in his left lung. Which likely happened when they intubated him. He NEEDS to open his eyes and wake up so he can get off the vent. Please keep praying for my husband. I’ll update again later when we get more test results or as his status changes.
