TJ Collins status Friday Aug. 7, 2009

This is TJ's daughter Barb and I will try to update you as much as I can.

Dad started having light seizure's on Wednesday & Thursday. They said this is not unusual but, need to get them stopped. They increased his med's which seem to only fix them for a short time. They even changed med's & it still wouldn't stop the light tremors.

As of last night they have sedated him to the point he is resting more and not able to open his eyes and it's like he's just sleeping. They decided to do this so he will rest and hopefully give his brain and body time to heal.

His vitals still have been real good so hopefully he just needs to rest and recover.

They said sometimes when they are sedated like this they have to incubate them and this is just a precaution to help them breathe, so far they have not had to do this. Thank God!

It's been real tough to see dad like this but, we are keeping the faith and have left this in God and the doctor's hand's.

Thanks so much for the extra prayers and all the concern.

He's a strong man as many of you know but, a body and a brain can only go through so much!
