in hospital

[dukeboy_318]

just wanted to ask for everybodies prayers and such, if you are willing to give them of course.

This morning while running a 2 mile run test for the National Guard, my finacee chris, blacked out, hit his head and lost consiousness for about 2-3 minutes. He was taken to the ER, treated and released, however, this afternoon, he became really nauseus and dizzy, so we went to his doctor, who sent us to the hospital, i just got back from taking him into the hospital, they said he has a severe concussion and will be in the hospital for at least 3 days, tommorrow, they will run CT scans to see if the swelling on his brain goes down any. He also may have re-torn his ACL in his knee, meaning a surgery.  I know how much these sites and you guys mean to him, so im posting on every forum he vists, im sure when he sees the support you guys give him, itll help cheer him up and help him through this.

thanks Erin

Having torn an ACL, and had several concussions myself I can feel his pain. Hope all is well with him, and a fast recovery. If you guys need anything feel free to hit me up, I am not that far of a drive away (south side of Indy). And is he still in the Guard, or just about to start training? My uncle is a Colonel down there in the Guard.

Sounds like he is in cause that is their PT test distance(2 miles).  I was in bed with the guard in Bangor as we shared the same building.  The problem is the speed they have to run that 2 miles in.  I ran over 6 miles a day(and no i haven't run a mile since retiring) just to keep in shape but my times could not compete with the ANG.  I couldn't believe how fast they had them treads going just to get to the time mark. For example, our 6 month test was 1.5 miles and I had all kinds of time at my age but they would have to run that 2 miles in about the same time frame   Absolutely ridiculous but definitely handy in the war zone.  That's why the Nav stays on ships and in the air I guess.

LORD we pray for Chris right now - that his swelling in his head will be gone in JESUS name - that he will have a complete recovery.

[dukeboy_318]

i told him that i had put this up, he thanks you guys and wanted me to keep it updated, after 2 CT scans this morning, he has been told he hasa stage 4 concussion, guess stage 5 in coma land, he will be in the hospital through saturday, and at which he will have more CT scans done before they will release him, the swelling must go down at 70%, they are also waiting on results from xrays to see if he cracked some vertabrae in his neck and shoulder region.  His vision has returned, almost to normal, some blurryness and his eyes are bloodshot.  He does have full control ovf his body, which the doctor said is a good sign.

[Drache]

do they know what caused the black out?

[BronzeOnSteelies]

Sounds like Chris is headed in the right direction.

Prayers for him right now.

My thoughts are with you both.

[dukeboy_318]

they arent sure what caused it just yet, they think that he may have slipped on the wet surface of the track and hit his head that way, based on eye witness accounts.  and yes it was during a test.

Comas are fun. I was in one for almost a month. You would not believe how rested you feel when you wake up.

[rt green]

get well soon. we need you here!!

[71ChallengeHer]

Get well soon and listen to your Docs. 

[Mike DC]

Hope he gets better soon. 

Head injuries are always scary.  Bodies can be repaired or even propped up with mechanics sometimes, but a mind can't be replaced.

I'm glad you feel that way.  Not the experience I had at all.

Prayers & thoughts for Chris.  It's always nice to know your 'net friends got your back.  I hope there's no lingering effects and he pulls through this like nothing happened. 

Awful nice of you to let everyone know Erin.

Thanks for letting us know.
Here's hoping for a full & speedy recovery!
