Accident and Medical Information

There are still a lot of questions and those will likely never really be answered. What we know is that Brian was in a severe car accident on Monday evening (January 6th). He was a pedestrian who was hit by a car. The other car stayed at the scene and did everything they could to avoid Brian, but it was just one of those very unfortunate accidents. The accident information is, of course, the least of our concerns. So to the important stuff. He is currently still in the ICU in a coma, which if I understand correctly is both a spontaneous coma as well as medically induced. He was diagnosed with Diffuse Axonal Injury (DAI) which means he has damage to his neurons. This is a tough diagnosis since there isn't a lot in terms of treatment. It will be a lot of rehab and recovery. He also has a broken humorous that will need surgery. He will also need surgery to change his ventilator to one through his trachea instead of one down his throat. He also will need a surgery to move his feeding ...

Introduction

I figured this might be a little bit easier than sending the updates to everyone. Brian was in a severe car accident on Monday January 6th. This will be a place for me (Nicole, his wife) to share updates on his condition and how his healing is going. We have a long road ahead of us. I have posted the history up to this point already and I have also created the Guest Book and Memories Page so please share stories about Brian (or all of us as a family). I will really look forward to reading them and hopefully that will help him in the recovery process too. He really is a special guy and has clearly impacted so many lives by just the outpouring of love and support that we have seen. It has been truly so wonderful to witness and we are all so incredibly lucky. As we know, it will be a long road, but I know we will pull through this and we will have so much support throughout the whole ordeal. We really really love all of you! 🤍

Quick Sunday Night Update!

Surgery for his trachea ventilator and arm correction is scheduled for Tuesday! This will help him feel FAR more comfortable and will help us move toward lowering his sedation. I will likely not have many updates until Tuesday after the surgery. My schedule is also changing because we are getting Lincoln back in school tomorrow. I will be a bit more in and out, but will still be here for a lot of the day. My goal is to provide at least a bit of an update each day. 🤍
