Keyav8r Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Does anyone have an update on Don? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOrnbroddaughter Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Hello! My dad is still in a private room in the hospital but is being moved on Monday to a facility that can address his complex wounds from being put in the ventilator and his body going into shock weeks ago. They will also start him on some physical therapy as soon as possible. He’s still not able to get on the computer to update himself but is slowly getting better. It’s a slower and longer process than we originally thought but he is still getting better every day. Me and my family are so thankful for yalls concern and I will update as much as I can when anything changes! Please feel free to ask any questions.

JeepSchmidt O'Guinness Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 Only just saw the post, 12hr shifts don't leave much time... Glad that Don is on his way to recovery. I've been through this before with my mother. My only advice is patience and empathy, for all parties. And down the road a portable O2 concentrater for when power goes out-- air tanks are for the birds ;¶ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOrnbroddaughter Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Hey everyone. No real updates yet still in a wait and see phase according to doctors. Most recent information is that he is on a bipap machine to maintain his oxygen levels as his CO2 levels rise too higher when he’s off. My mom has been with him every day and we are just in a stagnant phase. Thank you all for the concern and prayers and I hope to have a more positive update for everyone soon.

coolwind57 Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Oh, I am so saddened to hear this. Don sure was a great source of friendly and competent help for me as I worked on my truck. Many private messages back and forth and he never appeared irritated that I asked for his help so often. To Don's Asawa: Taos puso po akong nakikiramay saiyo. Rest in Peace, my friend.
