Good Morning everyone. Sorry no update last night. We were all exhausted.
Dad will be getting the tracheostomy this afternoon & possibly come off of the ventilator.
They are taking the brain drain out today.
He got a 7 on the glasgow coma score yesterday! He actually localized the pain & reached over towards the area of pain, which is great! Today he is back to a 6.
The most important thing right now is to have patience and continued faith. Things can be up & down for a while. I am just happy that he is showing signs of improvement every day. It's only day 6 & in some brain injury cases they don't see any movement, coughing, increased coma scores, etc.
The nurse said that we do not have to hurry to make any decisions at this point. He is making progress & there is no rush. It's important that we give dad the time to heal & let him show us what he can do.

ReplyDeleteWe are the Robbins in the home where John crashed his motorcycle. So happy to read the positive update today. We continue to pray for him and put his name in our new Draper Temple. Let us know if there is anything we can do to help. My daughter, Patti Strout, went to school with Darlene and my granddaughter, Jessica Strout Tuckett was a year behind Summer at Brighton.
