jsharr ★ Posted January 16, 2015 Share #1 Posted January 16, 2015 A friend who is also the brother of my closest lifelong friend has issues that can cause him to pass out / fall. He fell right around Christmas and was hospitalized for a few days. Massive concussion, etc. Earlier this week he fell again and was hospitalized again, with damage to frontal lobes. Last night, he stopped breathing, was intubated and is now in critical condition and going in for emergency inner cranial surgery. That is all I know for now. Whatever good energy / thoughts / prayers you might have would be greatly appreciated. The guy's name is Bill. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsharr ★ Posted January 17, 2015 Author Share #16 Posted January 17, 2015 so Bill survived the surgery. Survival is day to day right now still in critical condition. They will not know long term prognosis until and if he regains consciousness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zealot Posted January 17, 2015 Share #17 Posted January 17, 2015 Glad he survived surgery. One step at a time! Will keep he and his close in prayer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsharr ★ Posted January 19, 2015 Author Share #18 Posted January 19, 2015 Update. Bill regained consciousness on Saturday. He is breathing on his own and was responsive and coherent but seems very distant and disconnected. He recognizes people and was able to correctly answer the question "who got robbed in Green Bay" by saying Dez Bryant. Long term prognosis is still uncertain. Nuerosurgeon feels that there will be long term impairment, but does not have a sense as to what degree. His brother came over to watch the game and have burgers with us last night. I think he just wanted some normalcy for a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentonMakes Posted January 19, 2015 Share #19 Posted January 19, 2015 Good to hear about some positive steps, even small ones. Here's hoping for continued recovery, and a return to normalcy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zealot Posted January 19, 2015 Share #20 Posted January 19, 2015 Thanks for the update. Sounds mostly positive. And yeah, I'm sure his brother needed what you offered. Good on ya. Peace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
