6/12/2007 - Tuesday Adam had surgery today as planned to check the wounds/vacuum packs; no dead tissue was found and packs were resealed. Following the surgery Adam was successfully taken off the ventilator and as of 10PM tonight he was still breathing on his own. His voice is very hoarse and though things are still hazy for him, he was able to answer some questions with single word responses when asked. No surgeries are planned for tomorrow so hopefully he will remain off the ventilator the entire day Wednesday. Thursday they plan on re-checking the wounds/vacuum packs; they also are tentatively planning to do some ortho-work on the right leg. The left leg (operated on yesterday) was swollen today but was understandable/expected based on the procedure performed. Overall a good day. 6/13/2007 - Wednesday Adam seems to have calmed down later today although his respirations are still too high (30 plus). His blood gas has deteriorated some but Doc was not too concerned - in other words they have no incubation plans. Lungs have a pretty good rattle and he is is trying to cough. He is still not talking although he is fairly effective a shaking his head to commands. Looks like at this point the Ortho docs are only going to check the wound vacs (leg) on 6/14 and possibly do surgery on the right leg Saturday (6/16)? Main Doc White said he does not plan to check the butt wound vac until Fri so perhaps no surgery on Fri? He has developed a hemotoma on his inner right thigh which they just plan to watch. They hate to lance and install another wound vac unless they must. He needs to sleep and has slept very little in the last 2-3 days. Sally and I speculate his brain is racing to assess and there is considerable to assess. Plus he has been heavily medicated which they have backed off on - maybe that will help? Susan had him pretty settled as of 8:30 pm. He is drinking a little from a straw. As Doc White said "no big set backs since the clotting." The heparin, although necessary, continues to complicate. His left leg is bleeding some since the surgery on Monday pm. I noticed the wound vac has been removed from his left foot.

I guess I'm behind some. I've looked back thru the current list and haven't seen anything. If it's not too much to ask, what happened? Sounds terrible what-ever it was and thoughts and prayers are with you. Pate

My prayers for a speedy recovery.
Solid beautiful healing white light energy to Adam and family and caregivers.

I'm glad he is doing better. He will need allot of time recovering from this. Even after the body heals, the mental aspects of this stress will take a toll for some time. I hope you guys keep him sitting still longer then he's going to want to. Many troops have this 'drive on' dispite anything modus programmed into them. I wish hi and the family the best. It grieves me knowing you and thousands of others around the country are going through this and worse. Nothing is more horrible then a young man or woman being killed so young with their lives still ahead of them, the voices of kids they would have had silent and in the world of lives that might of been. Thanks for the update.

Ahhh...ok. I'm glad he survived it but I'm sure he has a tough recovery road ahead. Like I said, prayers for him and family. Pate

A couple of weeks that must seem like a thousand years. He is lucky to be alive. I'm glad he lived.

Thanks Mike. He is lucky - he has a family who really cares about him. That will make the difference.

Sounds like more of these can be expected. It's wonderful to hear a "good" report!, and I'm praying that every day will fit into that category.

Many more to come, I hope. Thanks for the update, Tom.
