Good morning everyone! As of right now there have not been any changes in his status. He's still unconscious and intubated. Not moving to commands, but moving spontaneously. The trauma doctor was around this morning and said that he was doing well. Just waiting for him to wake up now! They started feeding him through his og tube this morning. Jevity...yummmmm! The ortho doctor saw him last night and determined that his scapula is broken in his left shoulder, but at this time they do not think that they will have to do surgery because nothing is displaced, just a sling when he is awake and moving. He also has a frontal facial lobe fracture we knew about yesterday and the plastic surgeon said that they do not believe they will have to operate on this either. No displacement! He's a lucky boy that's for sure. This morning the neuro doctor saw him and discouraged us a bit, but the nurses were wonderful and assured us that things seemed to be going well. They said he's young and in good health so that's going in his favor! They also said that his recovery is going to be LONG, but little steps are good! Shortly thereafter they called and asked if someone wanted to come sit with him because he was sitting up in bed and trying to pull at his breathing tube. Tomorrow they will do another scan of his head. We will continue to update as we know more. Keep those prayers coming! Thank you to everyone who responded to the call yesterday; police officers, firefighters, first responders, EMT's, the Samaritan crew, and the list goes on: you saved his life and we will forever be grateful to you. Thank you to everyone who showed up at the hospital. Your outpouring of love is amazing and Adam is lucky to have such wonderful friends and family (and us too!) Keep praying, I know God has a plan for Adam through all this. I know he misses his little Miss Sadie and his pup Luke! I know Luke misses him and I'm sure Sadie misses hearing him tell her that her "dada loves her!"

  3. Adam & family, just wanting you to know that we are praying for you, for a full & uncomplicated recovery. We are fortunate to have such awesome emergency & law enforcement people in our county and thank God for them, as well. Carrie, this blog will be special to Adam when he has awakened & can read it. My sister kept a diary when I had heart surgery & and was "out of it' for 10 days. She gave me the diary when I got home and read it and cried with tears of joy to learn what had gone on, who had come to see me, etc. With Love, Because of Christ, Bill & Pat Rubrake Heinbaugh
