04-30-2003 Day 47 (Wednesday)
Robbie
is still doing much better than the day before. As we have said
everyday there is just something more to add and today is the
same. We noticed that he is moving his eyes to the right a
little more, also got him to chewing while cleaning his mouth
and getting his mouth guard out. They started to let him breath
on his own again and he did real good. This evening he was
resting very easy with a low heart rate and a low breathing
rate. He was very relaxed and his limbs were easy to move. He
also had his staples removed from his amputated leg and the
stitches removed from the broken leg wound site. Robbie also got
a workout from physical therapy today.

Well
no news is good news unless you work for a news station where
you need news. We are happy to say Robbie is still doing very
well. He is now off the vent and just breathing O2 on his own
from a tube. His eyes were opened most of the day but he is
still in a coma. He looks very relaxed in his hospital bed. With
all that said we have one more visit with him tonight then we
will be off to bed to start another day too.

(Friday…. 7 long weeks)
Yes
it has been 7 long weeks now…. Things seem to be slowing down
now and getting to be more of a routine with Robbie. We are
expecting next week that he will be back at Plano Specialty
Hospital if he continues like he has been doing. I am starting
to work on a website for him that will have pictures of Robbie
in the hospital, of the car and the police reports for all of
you to see. I have talked to his lawyer about the website and he
said it was all right to display the material. I know your
imaginations must be running wild as to these things…. Like
what does he look like? What did the car look like? And etc ….
So instead of sending them with the email and offending some of
you who really don’t want to see these things I will put them
on the website and let everyone make their own choice. In a few
days I will give out the website address.
