Saturday Morning

It's been one week since the accident and since the 'air ride' to UMC in Lubbock.

He is able to sit up for brief periods of time.

Mom and I made tentative plans yesterday for his course of action when he leaves UMC.  Please note the bold, italic and underlined word tentative.  

Despite breathing treatments and the use of the spirometer, the atelectasis of his lungs is becoming a bit more of an issue, and the doctors are becoming increasingly worried about pneumonia.  Atelectasis can be the result of trauma, but, may also develop in patients who aren't able to move a great deal.  If we begin to battle pneumonia, the tentative plans we made yesterday will be postponed.  He told Mom that he feels terrible this morning.  He had a much better day yesterday.  But, hopefully, some rest will be the cure.

I promise you, that as soon as definite plans are made and set into action, we will post them here.  We have been diligent in providing accurate information as soon as we know.

Since apparently it was not clear in the previous posts, I'll once again emphasize that he can not bare weight while he remains in the Ex/Fix.  The Ex/Fix will remain in place for at least 8 weeks.

In other Langford news today:

Have a great Saturday everyone--get some rest and relaxation in!  We'll keep you posted.
