cvfd1399 0 #128 May 7, 2005 It's been a day or so I wonder what the latest on our friend is? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Laurel 0 #129 May 8, 2005 Here's the latest.... Day 14 - William is still unconscious, but tonight at our 8pm visiting hour, he made the first response to a verbal command. I asked him to hold two fingers out and he did. Since I thought he could hear me, I started to tell him where he was and what happened to him. In the middle of my rundown, I asked him to move a finger if he could hear and understand me and he moved the finger. So, I definitely think we are getting closer to him waking up. Edited to change "verbal response" to "response to a verbal command." I thought the previous sounded like he talked or something......................................................................

He is still unconscious and has assisted breathing with a trach tube. The doctors have decided not to operate on his neck and are about to release him to a long term care facility. Laurel is searching now in the Pensacola area so he can be close to his family. I wish I had better news to report.

As of today, he held up 2 fingers after being asked once, and he reached out to touch some flowers that Ian, Katie, Brie and Travis sent him (thanks guys). I almost started crying. His eyes are open and I am positive that he can hear and understand everything around him but just has a lot of trouble with his motor functions. He cannot move his legs as of yet, but I believe that is only due to his lack of motor function. He also cannot move his mouth to try to speak, but I know he is trying. These limited movements are a huge step and exhausted him to the point of heavy sweating and eventually a nice long nap, but I have to remember that the swelling in his brain has not subsided. That will take about 3 months. We are looking into nursing homes for William in the Pensacola area and will transfer him as soon as we find one that will take him. THANK YOU so much for your letters, cards, emails, and PMs. He is on his way to an incredible recovery only due to your love and his strength......................................................................
