Hello all! I just talked to Patti. She, Jackie, Scott and Sue were shown the CT scans by the surgeon. The bleeding is still there, but they are hoping it reaches a point where it will stop before it reaches the point where he has to have surgery for a chance to live. The doctor told them he is still in critical condition and the cat scan scheduled for tomorrow, Scott said they are doing today. I don't know just when. The doctor told them the next 72 hours are very critical for Jack. Patti is so touched about the sign up for praying for Jack and would love it if it could go at least the next 72 hours. She and the kids want their names listed, so I will do that and then she will call me when I'm at the hospital and I'll give her the times I put them down for.
Patti told the doctor about her plan that if Jack stabalizes she want to take him home immediately. The doctor explained to her that there will have to be a step down with needed care and also therapy before she can bring him home, so she is understanding of that. The doctor also told her if the bleeding stops, that it can start again, so it is important he be in the hospital for a time after that. They were also told the area of damage in Jack's brain is the area of memory and that type thing.
I hope I remembered everything. Thanks everyone! |
