Since the accident, Emil has had surgery to stop the internal bleeding and was placed in the Shock Trauma Intensive Care Unit. He had the breathing tube removed a few days after the acccident and we have been able to see him and talk with him. He is suffering from delusions and is unable to remeber anything that has happened since the accident. The main problems he is facing at this time are an irregular heart beat and a difficulty with getting him to breathe deeply, which can lead to pneumonia. He is restrained at the moment to keep him from pulling on tubes and injuring himself further. He was scheduled to have a surgery to repair his pelvis and shoulder today but that has been postponed until Thursday due to the risks associated with his irregular heart rate. Emil has undergone muliple cat scans, x-rays, blood tests, and ultra sounds but we still do not have a complete grasp of his injuries or what his recovery may be like. I will update as soon as I know more.
Also, I want thank everyone that has shown so much concern for Emil. The support of friends, family, and the community as a whole has been amazing and a huge help to us during this difficult time.
