On Monday, April 16 our father fell 15 feet off of a ladder and suffered a traumatic brain injury, in addition to several fractures and other injuries. We started this blog to keep our family's many friends and family members updated on his status and progress.

Morning Post Surgery Update
Last night after surgery they turned down the sedation to check Dad's responsiveness. They were unable to get him to respond, which concerned them. So they immediately had another Cat scan done to check on his brain bleed. The Cat Scan looked unchanged from the previous one, which was good. They thought that his unresponsiveness may have been caused from all of the medication in his systerm from surgery, so they turned off his sedation overnight and turned down his pain meds. This morning they were able to get him to follow commands. He also opened his eyes. He was acting like he was in pain at that point, so they turned the meds back up.
