42. Final update
Mon Nov 7, 2022, 04:16 PM
Nov 2022

Just got word from my brother that he should be going home this Thursday 11/10

He has had a long and sometimes very rough go of it these last months : another surgery was performed (basically a repeat of the one above) and at one point drs said they would be putting a breathing tube and feeding tube in him, and transferring him to hospice for end of life procedures … we were all stunned and miserable with grief.
Then his wife read them the riot act, a new team of drs came on and said “ no, he has no permanent brain damage, and should regain all his functions eventually”
He was unconscious and in a pre-coma state for several weeks, and then he started waking up more and more and responding and he did, little by little and with PT and intensive therapy recover.

And now he’s going home !!
When I see him I’m going to show him this thread so he can see everyone working behind the scenes for his recovery ❤️‍🩹

Again, thank you all for your prayers and kind words



✌🏻
