Up date on condition of Alex Ramos

[holmcall]

Some good news.

Just received this email from Jacquie:


I just returned from the hospital (6:15 California Time) and I am so
happy to report that Alex has come out of the coma. They removed the
respirator and all of the tubes, and he is talking, complaining, and
seeking all the attention he can get from the nurses! He is a little
bit disoriented and he does not recall what happened to him. He tried
to get out of bed and go home, so they have given him more sedatives.
He doesn't want to sleep, but he needs to, which is why I finally
left.

I thank you from the bottom of my heart for all of your prayers, for
that is what brought him back to us. In the end, the neurologist
believes that Alex suffered a couple of pretty serious grand mal
seizures, triggered (possibly) by an asthma attack. Believe me,
someone was looking over Alex! It was 110 degrees in his bedroom, and
his blood pressure was very high. Dr. Stiller of our Medical Advisory
Board explained that this is what forced blood to his brain and is
probably why he does not appear to have suffered any serious brain
damage. He is not out of the woods, and still listed as "serious
condition" and will remain in the ICU for at least another 24 hours.

Please continue to pray for him, and then pray for me because he is a
little cranky! He is mad that I "told his business" but I explained
to him that if something happened to ME and no one told him, he would
be madder than hell. He understands when I tell him that way. A few
minutes pass and he starts all over. Its going to take a few days for
him to be completely back to normal, and barring any unforseen
changes, that is what I am waiting for.

I will sleep tonight and again, I thank you all for your prayers. I
thank Vicky the very most because she took a chance when I asked her
to open Alex's door. Another hour and he would have been dead.

Love and hugs,

Jacquie

THE LATEST:


Thanks Holmcall!

Alex will be in the hospital for at least a week. He is being moved out of intensive care tonight, but he has developed an infection which has to be treated. He also needs to be able to get up and move around. If you want to send him a card, send it to:

Alex Ramos (Patient)
Simi Valley Adventist Hospital
2975 North Sycamore Drive
Simi Valley, CA 93065

Alex is very touched by all of the email and the phone calls Mike Indri and I have told him about. He will love and treasure and save every card or letter sent to him. I think it will help him a lot!
