Day 1


Saturday, November 19, 2011
On Saturday, November 19, 2011, Bob was in a tragic accident while plowing snow off of the lane leading to their home. The details are still unknown as to what happened. He was found unconscious in the middle of the road on 2nd east. After being rushed to Logan Regional hospital he was life flighted to McKay Dee hospital and rushed into surgery. With extensive brain bleeding and bruising, they removed the hematoma and removed the left side of his skull to help reduce the swelling. He was placed in a medically induced coma with a ICP gauge in his head to check the pressure constantly. We were told at that time that Bob would be in this medically induced coma for 10 days to 2 weeks. If the swelling increased past 20, there was the possibility that they might have to remove the right side of his skull also. He is in very critical condition with an unknown outcome.
