Another update

Well, the other day was a really busy and hard one for Jim. He started tremoring at the beginning of the week. It could be from the drugs, or that the drugs were simply supressing the tremors, and now since they are slowly lowering them, they are now becoming visible. Jim was given an EEG to see if maybe the tremoring was because of seizures. During the EEG the tremoring was so bad that the only thing the results could tell the doctors is that it's not seizures, but there was insufficient data to tell them anything else. They are going to give him another EEG on monday and give him a paralytic to stop the tremors so they'll be able to have accurate results.
Jim also received another CT scan of most of his body. The results were that his hip is broken, but does not need surgery. There appears to be no infection anywhere, but he still has the fevers. And he has suffered a stroke. Not a big one, but not a small one either. It's in the right side of his brain, in the sensory area, and will probably affect his entire left side. He had another CT scan this morning, and there was no change, which is good in the sense that it didn't get any worse. The doctors told me that the stroke was caused either by a fatty embolism traveling from his broken legs and up through his heart, or maybe some plaque was knocked loose from his arteries by the hard impact he took when the other car hit him and it made its way into his brian. Either way, we need to pray for his brain.
It has also been determined, now that the sedative is being lowered, that Jim is in a coma. Why? They don't know. The drugs? It could be. He has been on pretty high doses of them. Some unseen brain trauma? Could be. Oxygen loss? Maybe. There are so many variables in the whole thing.
I do know this though. The doctors and nurses have told me that Jim has come so far in the last three weeks that it's amazing. A miracle. None of them thought he would make it that first night. His main physician has told me that in all his years as a doctor, he has never seen anyone who has received so much bone surgery in such a short space of time and tolerated it as Jim did. He's had patients who've had more bone surgeries, but never who had as many as Jim had over the course of these past few weeks. They are all concerned about Jim's progress, and would like to see improvement, but at the same time he has come farther than anyone thought possible. And that's the miracle. It is not Jim's time. He is still here, and my faith is is such that I fully believe that despite everything the doctors are throwing at me about Jim's condition, that Jim will recover.
There are still a lot of "what ifs" and "we don't knows" and "we'll have to wait and see", but that's medicine for you. The human body is ever changing, and as complex as anything out there. What one persons body does, anothers doesn't. But I'm praying not only for Jim, but for the doctors and nurses and all the medical professionals that are caring for Jim that they might be guided to do what is best for Jim and gain whatever insight they need to help him.
Keep up your prayers too, as I am ever thankful for all your prayers. They are helping Jim in ways I'm sure we'll never know.
Oh, and to everyone at Jim's place of work, thank you. Thank you so much for helping to give our kids the best Christmas. I have never seen so many wonderful presents in my entire life, and our children were utterly delighted with everything, and amazed that Daddy's work friends loved our whole family so much. You have helped make our Children's lives brighter this Christmas season, and done a very wonderful, and kind thing for our family. Thank you.
