I'm so sorry. Prayers said here too.
Every time I read something like this, it makes me feel so guilty for worrying about the silly everyday things in life.
Oh my goodness! Six pages of prayers and well wishes. Thank you all so much. They are truly appreciated more than you can imagine.
There was a tiny bit of good news today. The nurse said that he opened one eye a tiny bit this morning. He couldn't do it for me later though. But he did squeeze my hand even before I asked him to. But then they had to do an MRI and gave him morphine this afternoon so he was out for the rest of my visit. They wanted to make sure his neck was OK and if it is they will take his neck brace off. They are also going to do a trachiostomy so they can take out the breathing tube down his throat. They are giving him antibiotics for a slight infection in his lungs and anti seizure meds just to be safe. I think they do that with all head injuries.
So I guess I am encouraged that he opened his eye a tiny bit. Maybe tomorrow he can open it all the way and for a longer period of time. I pray that is so.
My DH, the light of my life is in a coma. He fell and hit his head on Monday. He said he really saw stars and was done working for the day. He went through the basement and took off his work clothes, went upstairs and got a shower. He even used his squeegee to clean the shower. He was trying to make it to bed when he fell. I was downstairs making his lunch and didn't hear him fall. I finally went upstairs about 10 minutes later to find him unconscious on the floor. We got him to the trauma unit and the dr told me they needed to get him into surgery immediately to get out the blood from the subdural hematoma. Everything went well.
He can follow commands, like squeeze my hand but he just hasn't opened his eyes yet.
Please pray that he does soon. He is in great shape for his age (73) So that is in his favor. We have been married 44 years this July. I NEED him to be OK.
Thanks.
Oh Robinrs that is such a great story. I praying that our story has a happy ending also.
