anyone know the 2 emaws hit by the dui last night? now with fundraising links

[TheHamburglar]

Mike returned to Great Bend about this time yesterday.  The remainder of his recovery will just be outpatient therapy and some periodic visits to the doc (not in Great Bend though, we have some pretty amazingly awful doctors there)

Cody's had some small responses the last few days and is still trending upward.  Doctors say he's a couple weeks ahead of where most people in his situation are.  All things considered, he's doing very well.

Very good news on both, keep up with the T's and P's guys!

so did I read that right that the guy that just happens to be BITB at reattaching heads happens to work in Phoenix when this went down?  If so, that is

Things are still about the same with Mike (awesome), but Cody's had a slight setback. 

They moved him out of the SICU for about a day before he started having some issues. ICP was rising (the pressure kind, not the shitty rap duo) and the cranial fluid wasn't absorbing the way that it should, and it looks like they're going to have to put a shunt in on Thursday.  For the layperson (probably not a lot of them, since we're all super-rich attractive EMAWS  ), it's a tube that's going to run from his brain down to his stomach to drain some fluid. 

It sounds pretty shitty but its very common for these types of injuries and it shouldn't change things for him much long-term, it just kind of sucks since they were sure that they weren't going to have to do this about a week ago.  He's been pretty quiet the last few days but they attribute that to the increased ICP. 

T's and P's, guys

Ts and Ps indeed.

Thanks for the updates.

[GBEMAW]

Not a lot of news, just popping into say that Cody's procedure went well today.  The shunt is in, there doesn't appear to be any signs of infection.  He's been out most of the day due to the anesthetic used during the surgery, but the swelling and pressure are now at near-normal levels.

He's off most of the drugs now (just a few painkillers) and he no longer requires any type of assistance for breathing.  Baby steps.  Just waiting on him to come to.  Aside from the whole being in a coma thing, he's doing fine.  Vitals continue to be strong, he's been very active the last few days.  We just need him to take the next step so we can accurately assess where we're at.

Mike still doing well, back home, waiting to get his brace and boot off.  He's in good spirits.

Thanks for the T's and P's, guys, it's appreciated!

Those two guys are awesome. Continued T's and P's.

Man, what a trip. Can you imagine waking up and realize it's been like a month or whatever since your last memory. "Hey what happened? What am I doing here".  "Well son, someone lost their head and hit you guys on a pedicab, not necessarily in that order".

It's pretty rough ridin' creepy to think about.

It was a trip for Mike too.  Last thing he remembers, he was on a pedicab right outside the hotel, completely shitfaced.  That afternoon, he wakes up in the ICU with a bunch of people around him and a tube down his throat, his head fixed into place by the halo-brace.  Dude thought he was in some twisted real life version of Saw. 

And that was just an afternoon.  Cody's going to wake up a month or so later and hear "Hey, uh, so Mike's head got cut off but it's back on now, and your skull's in your stomach.  Happy February, by the way."

Small update on Cody, no infections from the shunt procedure, which seems to have put the brakes on the swelling issue. Pressure and swelling look great, he's really looking like himself for the most part.  He has improved to the point where the doctors feel comfortable removing him from SICU and back into regular ICU into his own room. 

Mike's superman. 

T's and P's, will continue to update with new info as it's made available!

Do they know we lost?  Don't tell them if not.  Pretend we won.

[ednksu]

is Cody awake and responding to stuff again?

Hope the good news keeps rolling in.  Tell him about the awesomeness that is bruceketball's domination.

They're both firmly #burnitdown, FWIW, though I think Mike's trying to give oscar a chance.  He's ended his boycott of KSU Cats basketball games during his recovery and is now very cautiously optimistic for Bruceketball's future prospects. 

Cody's only had a few small responses but they've been encouraging ones.  He hasn't really been conscious yet, according to the docs down there, but he's been opening his eyes for periods of time. This is going to be a long, slow process. Still trending upward, though the progress has slowed down a bit.  Doctors are still feeling good about him, we're just all waiting on him to clear his next hurtle.

[GBEMAW]

Just got a new update from his dad, he called to confirm that he has been moved back into regular ICU into his own room.  He has been very active today though, again, he still hasn't responded to many commands.  He's been scratching itches, responding to being tickled, stuff like that, but not much else.
