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.

Friday, May 8th

I just spoke to Tim on the phone. He seems to be having a good day. He actually did some yard work today. He mowed part of his yard, and edged some too. Tim cannot stand to be doing nothing. Donna sat outside and watched him the whole time. He thought that was unnecessary. We know better. Tim was totally exhausted when he went back inside. He will take naps when it is needed. Tim's appetite is slowly coming back. He ate all three meals today. His portions are still much smaller than he ever ate before. But, it is definitely giving him energy to be active. I am looking into "Home Health" for him. We can have physical, speech, and occupational therapists come to the home and work with him. This will take care of some of his idle time. If anyone knows of a specific agency that we should use, please email me at lisaallen30@yahoo.com . Otherwise, I am researching on the Internet.
