Hey Rusty, thanks for the update. I know first hand how difficult it is to just sit and wait for improvement to a loved one lying there helpless in a hospital bed.
My Nephew (28 yrs old) was in a snowmobile accident a couple of weeks ago. He was riding in the mountains in British Columbia, Canada with 4 other buddies. He went off trail a bit and didn't realize that he was on a cliff side snow drift. The drift let go and he and the snowmachine fell 75ft down the cliff. He landed on top of the machine and the snow drift on top of him. His beacon alerted his buddies and the ski resort sent a Rescue helicopter.
Initial diagnoses, after back/spine surgery, is the he has a broken back, lost 30% of his spinal fluid, crushed L1 vertibre , severe head and eye injury and a 10% chance of walking again. He was also in a coma.
He has since regained consciousness, but has no feelings from waist down. He has a pretty decent spirit and is determined to walk again.
Now he is over 2500 miles away and it's really tough to sit and wait for updates every day or two. He is lucky that my sister, brother in law and girlfriend are with him to support him through these times.
Stay strong and positive anytime you are around Ryan and she will feel it and respond as the spirit and mind are stronger than the physical body.
Ryan will remain in my nightly prayers along with Erin, my nephew.
God Bless
Mike
