Post by: Bernie on April 14, 2013, 06:02:13 AM

Hey everyone.  Wanted to post something and let people know ill be away for a bit.  I had to make a decision to place my father on life support yesterday.  All of my time is devoted to him recovering.  So, for anyone I owe money to, I will get you straight ASAP.  Anyone holding something for me, please take the hold off.  I have no idea of a time limit.  Keith Courage and Bardoly come to mind, but there may be more, my mind just isn't working right now.

Thanks everyone for their thoughts and prayers!!   :P  I have a HUGE update.  Those on my FB most likely already know this however.

My father started out slowly coming out of the coma, but remained sedated for a few days.  They would bring him out of sedation once ever 12 hours, to be sure his nervous system was ok.  All that worked fine.  Yesterday and the day before, he was able to communicate via paper and a pen, with the alphabet on it.  Basically, he would point to letters, spelling out anything he wanted to say.  Of course, he is still on the machine, but it is slowly being weened off, right now its at 40%.  Talking about maybe today or tomorrow, but it depends on his body and if its ready or not.  All in all, its looking really good though!  Its been a long week, but it is looking better each day. 

Again, thank you to everyone for your support, and I should be back in action here real soon.   :lol:
