Sooo, I just went in to talk to Mike (he's still being quiet in these conversations), and I got some great updates. Right now, his BP, temp, O2 levels and kidney function are within normal ranges. His CO2 has come down 20 points or so, and is nearly normal. Halleluia!! God is so good!
While I was in there, I also dug around amongst the CT scan records and found out that he only has one facial fracture - the right side of his nose, the nasal bone. His jaw is dislocated, but apparently not broken.
While Hunter was here, he was able to go in an see Mike. This is the first time he has seen Mike. Although he was upset, he was amazingly strong. I cried the first time I saw him, too.
Thank you for all of the prayers. I am totally humbled by the outpouring of love.
Laura,
ReplyDeleteI am thinking of all of you and praying for Mike and your family!

ReplyDeleteRhonda,
ReplyDeleteThis is Candace (Poe) Blackburn. I have a group of people that I use, basically they are a prayer circle and I will get in touch with them immediately and put Mike and your entire family on their list. I will be checking in. Just remember that you guys need to take care of yourselves because Mike is going to need you guys to help him when he comes out of this. Get some rest if you possibly can and know that you are in our thoughts and prayers.
Candace
Laura, Hunter and Family: I have had Mike in mt constant prayers. I have sent out prayer requests on his behave from here to Conn. I wish I could be there with you. But know that you are all in my prayers and thoughts constantly. Love and Blessings to you all, Lynn Smith
ReplyDeleteDear Michael Watson Family, This is Paula Bettany Cave, my family was once very close to yours, Mike, Carol, Paula, Andrea, Michael (who went to kindergarten etc with Michael Watson) and Geoffrey. While we are all older Facebook has allowed us to rekindle relationships with old friends and when a family like yours is in trouble, a family like mine begins to pray for you. I heard of the prayers and asked if this was the same family and to hear Rhonda's voice in this blog, I knew it was. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. We pray that Michael will pull through this. God is your strength, family and friends are your support, we are here!!!!
ReplyDeleteMichael is hoping to come by the hospital and at least see the family. I, however, live in CA and I will pray for Michael's speedy recovery and strength for you all to get through this. Please continue to keep us all updated and God Bless You All...
I am sorry I couldn't be with you all today but you know that I was constantly asking God to embrace you as only He can. We will be back in touch soon. Give Mike a hug for me Laura.
