one thing after another
So my little brother is still up here in OHSU and he is doing a little better but not much, he is being put on more pain medication to try to calm it down but so far he is a little restless. he was up about 1 this morning complaining and crying and didn't go back to sleep till about 2:30 or 3. When we woke up again this morning around 8:30 we got a call from my step dad that my grandpa was in surgery in Colorado and that he might loose his leg. So my mom called up talk to him but got my uncle tony. ( my grandpa is hemophiliac just like my little brother.) he too also had compartment syndrome. he went into surgery right away because he had so much pressure in his upper thigh that they had to relive it right away. He bled out out a little more than a liter of blood out of his leg and we are waiting for an update. Danny is being put onto another pain medication on top of the other 3 he is on because nothing is lasting and they hope that since they are putting him on this it will help control the pain he has a button that he can pus every 10 minutes but they say that is better to push it that often because it can reduce the amount of oxygen that he gets. So we will see what happens. i might be going home today and will not have as much info to give out but we will see.
