About a month ago “Adrian” was preparing to take a trip and one of his doctors changed a medication. One morning after he took his medications he apparently passed out and wasn’t found for about 10 hours. By the time paramedics got him to the emergency room his temperature was 90 degrees and his glucose was 27; he was, according to one of the doctors taking care of him, close two death but still alive and in a coma. After an MRI it was discovered that he had a fractured femur right near his hip implant, as well as a fractured orbit, the bone above his left eye. He came out of the coma the next day.

After 25 days in the hospital he’s come home. He is confined to bed or a wheelchair until an orthopedic surgeon that specializes in this kind of injury decides whether or not he can operate. Until then we’re win limbo.

He was unconscious long enough to cause unknown damage, and a second MRI found that his frontal lobes have atrophied since December – but the cause is unknown. They also found a dangerous skin cancer and a suspicious lump on his thyroid and we’ll try to get those procedures lined up soon.

He’s been reading the news and trying to answer correspondence but it’s difficult for him right now. I’ll try to post an update when I know more.

Thanks,

Erica
