Here's an update of what's happening in Montana. Michael had a motorcycle accident on 8/16/09 in the parking lot at Home Depot. He was knocked unconscious and sustained a pretty serious head injury with bleeding on the brain. At the hospital he was put on life support because he could not breath on his own. The doctor put him into a coma to keep him from injuring himself further. The man who hit him said he didn't see Michael. The man was pretty shook up. We were all shook up and scared silly. He spent 2 days in ICU in a coma. Today he was sent home but has been sick with confusion, headache and nausea. I spent all day till 5:30 pm trying to get his doctor to call in prescriptions to the pharmacy. I was ready to throttle the doctor who could not even get the prescription right. Nothing seems to be helping. We are all exhausted and poor Vonda has been unable to sleep much. He will not be able to drive a car or pick up anything heavier that a milk jug, or return to work for at least 2 weeks. It is 9:30 pm and I can still here Michael gagging and cussing in the bathroom.
He was hungry and thought he could eat some fried squash I had made. Vonda fixed his plate and he started gagging before he could even take his first bite. We are hoping he will sleep tonight and have a better day tomorrow. He is lucky to be alive. Keep the prayers coming as he is not out of the woods yet. You never know what can happen with head injuries.
