There is a pressure scale ICP (Intra Cranial Pressure) on his brain. They told us it needs to be below 20. Early am Monday till about noon he was doing pretty good. I saw it as low as 13 but he hovered in the high teens to low 20's. I have since come home and now Lisa who is up there with Cindy is relaying to me the latest info.
Troy's ICP has been up around 38 all night. (remember we need him below 20).
Because of this swelling they have started the process of medically inducing a coma.
They will keep him in that state for up to 8 hours to see if it will be helpful.
The doctors will then take another scan (the 4th??) to see how much more damage has occurred since his pressure has been up so high.
Everyones calls, texts, emails of concern, well wishes, prayers and offers of support are greatly appreciated by Cindy. But we need BOTH Troy AND Cindy to rest.
This is the best place to stay informed. Check in frequently. Updates will be made as soon as possible.
Everyone want's to help, for now it's best to just sit tight.
For now pray
if that's what you do or just send positive energy by keeping Troy Cindy and
their Boys in your thoughts.
Feel free to offer up your support and well wishes here. It will be noted and I'm sure Cindy will be happy to be able to read them all here in one place.

My gosh, this is awful. My thoughts and prayers go out to Cindy and the rest of the family and of course Troy. I'm about an hour away from Chico if there is anything I can do to help.
ReplyDeleteWe have family in Chico who have been there forever and know everyone, for whatever that is worth.
ReplyDeletePls pass on my phone (xxx-xxxx)and email to Troy's wife and family to contact me if they need anything what so ever while he in Chico.
Hope he can get down to SF Gen if possible as I hear they have the best experts for this healing.
Very sad news.
