He was taken by Careflight to Harris Methodist Hospital in Fort Worth, TX. He is currently being treated in the Trauma ICU.

Saturday, March 14th

Tim's brain pressure is ranging 23-25. The doctor told us that when Tim can sustain a brain pressure under 25 for 24 hours - without the Manitol (meds for brain swelling), then they will start trying to wake him up. Today we noticed that his knee is red and feels hot. The nurse said they will do an ultrasound to check for blood clots.
