I don't have much of an update yet today. I just talked to Patti and they are just going in the hospital to see Jack. She was upset because last night they had him restrained...his wrists tied to the bed. I told her I didn't think restraints were allowed anymore and she said they are not. They had his arms wrapped in gauze and then tied to the bed.
At one time last night Jack thought Patti was his Mom and Scott was his brother, but for the most part, I think he knows Patti...that she is the love of his life.
They will be doing the next cat scan tomorrow morning. Patti told me that her plan is, once Jack is stable and able to leave ICU, that she is not going to let him go into another room there, but rather, take him home. She is so scared of him contacting a staph infection or something else.
If Patti calls me before 2:30 with an update, I will put one on here, but after that I will be gone for a while and not able to update. My brother is having surgery on his shoulder today and I thought I should go sit with his wife during his surgery. My poor brother has had so many surgery's in the past two years that I've lost count. He got Meniere's Disease 2 years ago and in that time, went totally deaf and had one surgery after another. A few weeks ago he had a chochlear implant and now is trying to learn to hear with his brain, rather than his ears. He's been through so much and now this shoulder surgery. I hope and pray this is his last surgery for a long, long time. Anyway, not to take away from Patti and Jack, but wanted you to know I may not be updating until later.
Once again, Patti said to say thank you to all who are praying for Jack. She is so grateful and so touched by the outpouring of love. |
