snapper Posted December 12, 2010 Report Share Posted December 12, 2010 Long story short...got a call Thursday at work from my mom that my brother collapsed at work while on location (he works in the gas field...operates a blender truck for fracking wells). They took him to a hospital in Pittsburgh by ambulance. He was awake and alert when they took him. 30 mins later I get a text from my sister-in-law that they were life flighting him to another hospital in Pittsburgh with bleeding in his brain. They did an emergancy drain in his skull to relieve pressure and fluids. They then moved him from the ER to radiology to put in these coils into the bleeding aneurysm to try and get it to clot. He's doing better now...he wakes up and reconizes people...but quickly falls back to sleep...when he wakes again...he don't remember whats going on and who was there. Monday they plan to do another test to see if the coils are clotting and stopping the bleeding. If not...they are opening up his skull and doing surgery! He will be in ICU for at least 2 weeks and in the hospital for prob. at least a month providing everything goes well. That means he'll be in there for christmas...plus money is going to be an issue. The guys he works with are taking up a collection and also forfieted they're holiday pays and remaining vacation to give to him. I need prayers...going to be a rough 10-14 days!

snapper Posted December 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 Thanks everyone...tom. is the next hump in the road. They'll do another test to see if the coils are clotting. If not, they got to go in and do surgery. I'm still sorta in disbelief this is happening...hes too young (surgeon said he's at least 10 years younger than the normal average), hes a husband and father...I just can't seem to say enough prayers!
