Brain Injury

My friend's dad(David) had a pretty big spill yesterday. He fell from a 15 foot ladder and hit the back of his head on a stand up cooler on his way down. Now he's in ICU and he doesn't know anyone, where he is, what's going on. He has a skull fracture and is hemorrhaging and swelling on the left side of his brain. My friend is really scared, I mean who wouldn't be.

I just want all here that do pray, to do so for him. And those who choose not to...just keep him in your thoughts, please.

Thank ya.

Okay, just for a little update...

They have now moved him into a room somewhere b/w ICU and a room where they don't do much. He is still under a close watch they have still got him tied down so he won't thrash around. The other night this male nurse came in the room, and David (her dad) said "May i please have some water" and the nurse said "No". And David got a little angry and said "Please, i need water now" and the nurse said "This 'now' stuff won't work with me"...David reached up and grabbed him by the neck. Woo...it was great.

Stupid butthole male nurse.

Anywho...so he's still very confused, and I honsetly thought that it would have worn off by now. He is no longer hemorrhaging or swelling. So that's a huge plus. They don't know when he'll be out. It should be a while still.

That's about it.
