That Night

Sure enough Jay, when they backed off your meds to check for brain activity...it was there!! You YOU were there still!! This was a good sign, a wonderful sign! You didn't want to follow any commands, but you were alive.  The had to sedate you because you were thrashing around...a lot.  Megan P described it to me as the worst she's ever seen.  Because of the sedation, they had to place a breathing tube in your throat and hook you up to the ventilator.  Crash says, during brief moments when you sort of, kind of, came through...you would cough, and react as though you weren't happy about this breathing tube.
"So what has he won?!"
Go big or go home hey bro? Broken ribs, broken clavicle, fractured spine, fractured skull, broken scapula, and a bleeding brain.
This ended day one.  And just as he said, Crash stayed with you through the night...and forced himself to get a bit of asleep while listening to the rhythm of the ventilator that was breathing for his brother.
