-- as of now he is needing platelets, but not blood. Since clear lake never could set up the donation account we will Have TCH set one up most likely on Monday. Once we get an account set up we will let you know.
6:41pm: Brad O. showed me the way around and he is all set up at TCH now. Kristina spoke with a doctor there and was quite impressed at the difference(much more information) in the conversation. They will look at he MRI today and have a radiologist go over it on Monday. They showed me x-rays and also said he does not need any more blood. They have him under lights to work on his tan now. TCH was surprised when I said he was not under them at Clear Lake.

1:35pm: They are supposed to transfer him at 2 to TCH.
10:40am: We have asked them to transfer him to Texas Childrens Hospital where we hope they will have a doctor available. They did not argue with her so now we await this process. It is patient requested and not doctor requested so there might be complications as they try and keep him.


8:50am: I will re-update this spot when we get some actual results. The MRI was done yesterday at 2pm. No one was available on New Years to look at the scans, but we are told maybe today and for sure before Monday. What we have been told so far is suspected brain damage due to bleeding and suspected seizures. No confirmation of either as no one knows.

1:18pm: And the roller coaster continues.. We just found out the whole reason they were pushing him so fast to breath on his own is so they can do a MRI to determine if there was any bleeding in his head resulting in suspected brain damage which is causing some of his other organs to not function correctly. We were thinking the progress was good, but now we will not know any results from the MRI till tomorrow supposedly. Kristina will be staying at the hospital till Sunday or Monday now most likely to be close. Apparently God really is the only one who knows what is wrong as everyone else has no idea what is causing or caused this...yet.

10:33am: Kristina just got to go see him actually moving around since they have taken him off the sedative. She also touched him for the first time. The doc will be coming in later to do a checkup. His blood type is A+ and we will be getting some info for blood donation.

12-31-09:He was given red blood cells and platelets today. The respirator is
only breathing 5 of the 60 breaths a minute. Which means he is
breathing quite a bit on his own and maintaining good blood oxygenation!
