Mike did not change much during the night, however his fever did break and BP continues to stay in a desired range. This morning a blood clot was found in his right leg, the same one that is fractured. Unfortunately not an unexpected development. Treatment is being started for that. He is responded positively to some venilatory changes. We are grateful for that. He desperately needs to improve his ventilation.
You hear so many seemingly hollow statements during times like these..."just pray," "we're holding up," "one day at a time," "moment by moment." Know this, these are not hollow statements. These represent our reality. We look at pieces and parts of Mike's progress and are constantly thankful that he is still here.
Many have asked questions about the wreck and what happened. We honestly do not know the details. The basics are as follows, he ran off the road approximately a half a mile from his house, about 15 feet off the road into trees. His truck caught fire. At this time, until we have more factual details, we will not put out any more information than that. While we need to understand how we got to where we are, we are trying to focus on where we are at now versus exactly how we got here. The injury pattern from the wreck explains enough right now. Please be patient and understanding as we are not focused on that part right now. We understand that the wanting to know is a part of your love and concern for Mike. That is what we are immensley grateful for.
Hunter is with family and friends today. Pray for a fun and child-like day for him.
I am reminded that today is Good Friday. As we head into this Easter weekend, remind yourself of the Lord's sacrafice and difficult walk he had. Remind yourself of the glorious resurrection on Sunday. Life is hard. God is good. Don't get the two confused (words of wisdom from some wise friends).
Love, peace, and humbling thanks,
Rhonda for the Mike Watson Family
