Update on Henry

hhjacobs · December 16, 2007, 02:53:06 PM

Hi, Henry is still losing some blood somewhere. His hemogoblin keeps dropping. He has had 2 units of blood but they are not wanting to give him any more if they do not have to.
He is on oxgen and if he is off his sat rate goes into the 50's.
Tomorrow they are doing more x-rays. If the bones have stayed in the place they were they will not have surgery.
Thankss for al lyour prayers.Marjean

Marjean, thank you for the update. Terrell and I just learned the news today after returning to Wichita. We're so sorry to hear of his accident and we will keep you both in our thoughts and prayers. Lynne

Marjean, please tell Henry that Frank and I are keeping him in our thoughts and prayers. Your family has certainly had more than its share of accidents and sadness. Please tell him "hello" from an old schoolmate. I'll try to get a card in the mail too.

It goes without saying ( but I will anyway) that Kjell and I send the old scalleywag a heavy dose of strength and we want him to know that we are thinking of him.
Tell him he can not collect on that massage I owe him if he keeps banging himself up like he keeps doing.

Give him a hug from me and tell him to hurry and get well..

Has anyone heard anything more about how Henry is doing?

Marjean,
Tell Henry there are prayers and thoughts coming all the way from Iraq for his quick recovery. Like everyone else keep us posted.
Love and Prayers

I have been told he has some internal bleeding and they are trying to find out where it is.

Well I can't imagine someone going through what he went through and NOT have internal bleeding and damage .
That man, in my opinion is darn lucky to be alive.

I wouldn't be surprised if his bleeding is from the pelvic fractures. A lot of our blood supply is born in those big pelvic plates. Hopefully by now it has stopped. Crush injuries bleed too, of course. Pelvic damage right where the head of the femur fits into the socket can be a little tricky, but most commonly bed rest is the key. Prayers from me too.
