The Accident...

On the morning of Saturday, March 7th, 2009, Tim Dobbs fell from his attic through the ceiling and landed on his back on the hardwood floor below. He was taken by Careflight to Harris Methodist Hospital in Fort Worth, TX. He is currently being treated in the Trauma ICU. He sustained a severe skull fracture, bruised brain, and bruised lungs from this fall. Tim was placed in a medical induced coma to begin his treatment.

Monday, March 30th

1:00pm - I talked with Donna briefly today, and she mentioned one of Timothy's old habits that he started doing today - playing with his mustache. And the real news, he's being moved to a private room right now. I will know more after the move.

3:00pm - They are still waiting on a room for Tim. Donna said they are trying to get his room as close to the nurses station as possible. Earlier today Donna was trying to exercise Tim's right leg (the one that does not move as well) by bending it at the knee. He locked up the leg and pulled it away. Defiance still shows ability, so that's encouraging. Also, they sat Tim totally up like he was in a chair. It was a little hard for him to hold up his head, and Donna said his face seemed to sag a little. But he has lost weight and the neck brace is pushing the skin up. That may explain part of it.
