I'm so glad you were there when he came to. For him to recognize you is awesome news! Thanks for keeping us in the loop! | ||

What Greg said. To have endured that kind of horrible trauma, then sedated for days, I bet he was completely bewildered to wake up. The single best thing for him was to see you at that moment... and that was also a great thing for you and those around his bedside. Time and tide... | ||

Just got back in from a nice afternoon ride to West Knoxvegas and back... it occurred to me that you might have forgotten to pack something important. Didja remember to grab one or a few of those "Glitch Kicking Death's Ass" stickers? Pretty sure I've got a spare or 2, if you'd like I'll throw them in the mail. If so, text me the snailmail address. | ||

Ok... Ventilator is OUT. He is awake and aware of his surroundings, still pretty groggy. The progress from yesterday to now has been nothing short of amazing. I showed him this message thread and he was so grateful to all of you for the outpouring of support. I can't seem to get a picture to post... So later, but wanted to let you all know what a great job you've done helping us. | ||

Here's the picture from yesterday, his wife is holding the phone up to his ear so he can talk to his grandfather in Illinois. Jet lag has caught up to me this morning, I should have been up hours ago. I'll be heading back out to see him as soon as I can get my bearings. To say I'm a bit fatigued is an understatement.  | ||

AWESOME SAUCE. I sure hope you get some quality R&R ASAP, you must be every type of exhausted. | ||

Here's the picture from yesterday, his wife is holding the phone up to his ear so he can talk to his grandfather in Illinois. What a remarkable difference between this pic and the first one of Kenneth you posted up. Thank you, Lord! | ||

Today, Kenneth was having some clear liquid diet items such as vegetable broth, cranberry juice, water, jello. That's the good part. The bad part is, he's been hallucinating all day. He's convinced "they" are coming, through the windows, doors, whatever - it's THEM. The nurses are being very tolerant of this, bless them. I hope tomorrow he's more clear headed. At least for now his oxygen levels are staying up and his vitals are fairly stable. Thanks again to all of BadWeb for the emotional and spiritual support... getting some sleep now, going back in the morning. | ||

Great news. I'm sure he's got a mind full of chemicals right now. They can do some really weird stuff to you. Great news that he's keeping his O2 levels up though. That's huge! | ||

Matthew Pray to the Lord and believe and he will be healed. Mark 9:19- 25 King James Version (KJV) 19. He answereth him, and saith, O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him unto me. 20. And they brought him unto him: and when he saw him, straightway the spirit tare him; and he fell on the ground, and wallowed foaming. 21. And he asked his father, How long is it ago since this came unto him? And he said, Of a child. 22. And ofttimes it hath cast him into the fire, and into the waters, to destroy him: but if thou canst do any thing, have compassion on us, and help us. 23. Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth. 24. And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief. 25. When Jesus saw that the people came running together, he rebuked the foul spirit, saying unto him, Thou dumb and deaf spirit, I charge thee, come out of him, and enter no more into him. | ||

Thanks everyone, I'm about to head back out to the hospital... There's a rumor he may be leaving ICU today and take up residence in a regular bed. We shall see! The progress thus far has been nothing short of amazing, considering where he was 6 days ago. Hopefully he got some decent sleep, the more I think about it the lack of sleep could be the major cause of hallucinations. I've experienced that myself without the benefit of propofol and fentanyl. Combine those things and it's bound to mess with your head. | ||

The advice I was given for hallucinations was they will come, but more important "It Will Pass". Something to ponder during the quiet times: 2 Corinthians 4:17-18 King James Version (KJV) 17 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; 18 While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal. | ||

Make sure you are eating!, and carry a bottle of water. | ||

His mental condition has degraded. Physical health is getting much better, but he is looped and thinks there are codes being spoken and written on the walls, paranoid that all kinds of things that aren't happening actually are. | ||

It’s hard to watch a family member in that condition. Hopefully this is a short phase. |
