no change

By Saturday they knew he had bruised lungs, bruising on both sides of his brain, and a broken rib. He didn't even know what is going on around him, he just stuggled to sit up and rip off all the monitors and IVs whenever he came out of sedation. It was heartbreaking to hear him ask me to help him, to let him go (out of the restraints). Even when I told him I couldn't, that he was in the hospital and needed to stay in bed, he didn't remember it 20 seconds later.

Now he's wearing mitts to keep him from grabbing any tubes or wires. He wakes up less often and doesn't talk when he does. At least he seems more at rest, hopefully the calm times will let him sleep enough to heal. I sat with him for 15 minutes, watching him struggle even in his sleep. I hope he comes out of it soon, but it could be days until he is even aware of his surroundings or remembers anything we tell him.
