J-BAR #18287 Posted June 30, 2019 Author Share Posted June 30, 2019 20 minutes ago, Blackwater 53393 said: We’re back to the top!! How’s our big buddy doing!! Thank you Blackwater and everyone else for your continued interest, concerns, and prayers. I will share the impressions I get from brief daily visits to Noz's hospital room and from discussions with his wife and son. His hospital is about a mile from my home, and I stick my head in his room for a few minutes a day. I was reluctant to update the thread without being able to report significant change one way or the other. But, since you asked... The good news is that he does not appear to be in danger or getting worse, He is still in the hospital under observation 24/7 by hospital personnel in his room. He sleeps a lot, partly because they have to keep him on medication to control periods of agitation. He often tries to remove IVs and EKG leads, and sometimes tries to get out of bed on his own, so he has someone in his room to keep him from harming himself. His wife and son also stay with him around the clock, spelling each other on 12 hours shifts. He has been able to walk a bit with assistance, but is not ready to navigate on his own. He can feed himself but sometimes refuses food. When he talks he is frequently incoherent, doesn't make much sense. Sometimes he appears to be searching for a word, then closes his eyes and nods off to sleep. His son told me he spoke in German the other day (Noz was posted to Germany while he was in the Army.) He recognizes his wife and son and family members. He has never called me by name, and frequently says he does not know who I am. He appears to have stabilized at this level of function. There is just no telling how long this may go on. With a traumatic brain injury like this he could suddenly snap back to normal, or it could take a very long time. To my knowledge they are not yet talking about discharging him from the hospital. Everyone's prayers mean a lot to his family. Here's hoping it won't be long before Noz can thank you all himself.

Fingers McGee Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 I'm getting here to send out thoughts and prayers a little later than I'd like. Lady Fingers and I have been praying for Noz and family since we first heard of his fall. We will keep our good friend Noz in our thoughts and prayers right up to and through his recovery. Congratulations on your receiving a Regulator's badge Noz. It was long overdue. Fingers (show Me MO Smoke) McGee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-BAR #18287 Posted July 2, 2019 Author Share Posted July 2, 2019 Tuesday, July 2 Update: Well, Folks, it looks like your prayers and good wishes are helping! Monday's visit looked encouraging, with Noz smiling when he saw me come into the room. He was joking with his son and granddaughter and the nurses who were in there while eating some breakfast. I did not post anything at that time because I was afraid it might be temporary. Today's visit was even better. He explained to his nurse that I was an old friend, called me by name, he remembered I have a cat named "Book" and told his nurses about my cat. And he asked me to bring him some Irish Whiskey, which got a laugh all around!! There is still some confusion; he thinks he is in the hospital because he was in a car wreck. He was in fact in a car wreck several years ago, so that is really a pretty good rationalization. He has no memory of his fall yet. And of course he may never recover that incident. The folks attending him say that if his improvement continues, he could be moved to a rehab facility near the hospital in about a week. So he still has a long trail to ride, but he is heading in the right direction! Keep him and his family in your thoughts and prayers, and thanks.

Smoken D Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Dang J-Bar, I was gone for over 3 weeks and did not know about this. If I had known while I was down there last Thursday would have gotten with ya and maybe between the two of us could have taken him out to get that Irish Whisky. Or at least brought him a bottle. Prayers will be going up for him and the family. Keep us updated and thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
