Thank You

Greg got in a pretty bad accident on Tuesday (7-15-08) We're still here at McKay-Dee Hospital in Ogden where he was life flighted from the job site. I just wanted to take a second while I'm sitting in the waiting room to thank everyone for their prayers, support and fasting. Our family and Greg are doing well. He was working in Malta when a pulley from the work crane fell on his head. He had a hard hat on which saved his life, but the impact fractured his skull in a couple places causing bleeding. He had emergency surgery to remove the hematoma and the loose bone fragments. The surgery went well and he's been in stable condition since Tuesday night, which is positive. He's been very heavily sedated which keeps him in a comatose state and sleeping. He's had movement in his arms and legs, mostly on the left side and will flutter his eyes when the nurses call his name. The first night I called his name and squeezed his hand, he squeezed back and moved. This is very comforting to me, but not good for him because we really want him to take it easy and rest. The stimulation right now is suppose to be kept to a minimum. The impact of the hit was on his left side of the brain which controls his right side and speech. Everything right now is watch and wait. It's very hard, but we all have a very calm and peaceful feeling that all is well. The nurses tell us there is a long and rocky road ahead, but Greg is doing so well, better than expected. I'm so thankful for all the blessings and miracles we have seen. I love Greg so much and I'm ready for him to come back.
