Just wanted to update everyone on my stepdad. Monday morning he was in the "Attic" in one of his buildings at work. He fell through the rafters & when he did he hit the back of his head on the way down~leaving him with a gash that required staples, slight bleeding on the brain, a fractured skull, a bruised frontal lobe, a severe concussion, a few cracked ribs, & a scratched up back. He was admitted in ICU on Monday afternoon & they couldn't give him anything stronger than Morphine because of the bleeding on the brain (didn't want to sedate him too much). The bleeding is now going down & resolving itself so they just switched up his pain meds yesterday to something alot stronger. He has a severe headache that won't go away..& now his blood pressure is high & heart rate is really low. Last update I got - they are wanting a cardiologist to come in and look him over to make sure his heart is ok..& he was also moved to a room on a different floor.
Please just take a minute to send a prayer up to the BIG MAN! He could really use it.
I will continue to update as I get more info!
