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.

Wednesday, March 18th

Tim's brain pressure is hanging around 15 today. This is after the Manitol (medication to reduce swelling in the brain) has been reduced by half. The paralytic (medicine to paralyze his body during treatment) is being reduced as well. There are signs of twitching and slight coughing. The tracheotomy has been pushed back to Thursday. We are very excited about Tim's progress. It has been slow, but we are patient. "Good things come to those who wait."
