I apologize it hasnt been sooner. I will try and post something once a week. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 14px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Billy's surgery went well on Sept. 7th. He is going to have to have multiple more procedures on his right eye. </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 14px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Billy had another surgery yesterday to remove the 2 large growths on his voice box and to open up his airway. His surgery went very well and he is back in his room today after a night in ICU.</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 14px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 14px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">They are talking about discharging him from Shepherd Friday but he will still have to continue 8 weeks of out patient rehab</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 11px; line-height: 14px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">.</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 14px;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 14px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Ron is still in ICU at Grady. They are having to find a facility to move him to but it is proving to be difficult. There are not as many facilities that know how to do what Ron's care calls for. He is still at a stage 3 and they want him at a 4 before the Shepherd center will take him. The closest facility his parents have found is HOPEFULLY in Roswell but if not there they will have to move him to south of Macon. </span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 14px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Please continue to pray for Ron and his family. Go visit him!!! The more the visitors and faces he knows the better the healing process is. He looks great though. He opens his eyes and follows those who are talking but he only sometimes follows commands. We need him to follow more commands to get him into Shepherd. </span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 14px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 14px;">The benefit at Tavern 99 was a great success!!! Thank you to all that came out!! Your love and encouragement is greatly appreciated. </span></span><br />

The muscles and tendons in his right eye are falling into the sinus cavity. The wires will also be removed on Wednesday. This morning when he was yawning 3 of the wires popped off, then the last one followed this evening while he was talking. The ENT will be placing tension rubber bands to hold his mouth in position until the bars are removed on Wednesday.</div><div style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">The insurance company was being a pain, again, but it got straightened out...for now.

The ocular wall in his right eye is either broken or pushed back. Muscles and tendons are falling into his right sinus cavity. If you have seen him you may have noticed that his right eye looks either swollen or droopy. The surgery should also help with his double-vision and constant headache. we do not know when the surgery will be yet. I will let everyone know. The wires will stay on for at least 2 more weeks, but possibly up to 4 more weeks. Please keep the prayers coming. Much love, Jill</span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; line-height: 16px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Ron had a rough day today. His blood pressure and heart rate was high all day. He is still very swollen and will have to have more drainage removed from his lungs. He is having a hard time breathing. They may have to put him back on the vent for breathing.</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; line-height: 16px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">They are looking for good places to possibly move him. Like a nursing home but not... If you know of any places please share it with us. His family lives in Dacula, so the closer to their home the better. </span></span><br />

Progression is slower than it was from day to day in the beginning.<br />
<div><br />
</div><div>Ron is awake, moving his eyes and tries to move his mouth but still has the tubes and things in his throat so it makes it difficult. His arms are swollen about the size of his legs. The doctor has not said much about this but the nurses say its normal. He finally had surgery the day before yesterday. They had to take skin from his upper thigh to cover the large gnash he had in his calfs. They could not operate and fix his legs until he was in a better place from his severe head trauma. </div><div>They will be moving him but not to the Shepherd Center yet but to a nursing home. He is still unable to move but is progressing. There is not much more they can do for him at Grady that a nursing home cannot do. Hopefully the swelling can go down and his legs will heal quickly so he can start attempting to move around more. </div><div>His son turned 1 today. His birthday party will be this weekend. Mandi is going to record the whole thing so that Ron can see it. I wish he could be more apart of it. I know he does too. </div><div><br />
</div><div>Billy is adjusting to the Shepherd Center. Jill was told today they are looking at maybe two more weeks at this facility and then he will go to the out patient facility in Decatur. He is progressing well.</div><div>He has daily physical therapy, speech therapy, occupational therapy and cognitive group. </div><div>He still has his humor though and his big heart. Unfortunately he has severe headaches daily and they get worse in the evenings. Nothing seems to help with the pain. He is seeing double of everything and this could be contributing greatly to the headaches but they are unsure. He gets to wear these super spiffy glasses to help improve his vision. </div><div>Last night Levi brought him a guitar but he refused to play in front of anyone. Today while Jill was visiting he played it wonderfully. </div><div>A sad but funny story... Billy was with his therapist and she asked him to tell her as many animals as he could think of... He sat there and said "cockatoo" thought a moment longer and said " I know its not a damn Annabelle"... for those of you who know us well, Levi and I have a dog and her name is Annabelle. Frequently we call her, damn Annabelle. lol He is trying!!!</div><div><br />
</div><div>Both of these guys still need our love and support! They need our encouragement and if you can a moment they could use a visit. Visiting helps with positive progression. Go See Them!!!!!</div><div>Billy can have visitors between 4-9pm everyday </div><div>Ron can have visitors any time except in shift changes which if I remember are at 7-8am and 7-8pm</div><div><br />
</div><div>Next Monday August 29th <a href="http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=245408862157069">http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=245408862157069</a> the cost is $20.00</div><div><br />

He did move one of his eyes at his mother's command. There is some optical nerve damage in his right eye that will heal. The doctors feel he is now stable enough for surgery on his leg. He is scheduled for a 2 hr operation today to skin graft his leg. This will be a painful surgery due to the area they will be removing the skin from to place on the open wound on his leg. However he is second on the list so it could be another day. </span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 14px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 14px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">After much unnecessary drama with the insurance company Billy FINALLY made it to the Shepherd Center yesterday. They lowered his treche collar at some point when we did not know so they are going to take it off hopefully Monday. </span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 14px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">His evaluations yesterday went as to be expected with the doctors it seems but worrisome to some of us. But we must keep in mind he did suffer severe head trauma. </span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 14px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Levi and I were discussing food ideas for the benefit August 29th and I couldn't recall what Billy liked more,(he has the most random taste in food. He loves to eat fish eyes... YUCK) so I messaged Jill and she said "I dont know but he said when he gets out the first meal he wants is white pancakes, sausage and eggs mixed with cereal." lol He is definitely on the road to recovery. He was singing in the shower this morning. Nothing but ooooos and hmmms and ahhhhs but it was singing none the less. </span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 14px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 14px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Its so wonderful to know my brother is doing so well but it breaks my heart to know our long time brother is still in ICU. He is slowly improving with baby steps though. We must hold on the the positive to help us all get through. Ron is a rare friend and someone our whole family loves and adores. Please keep your prayers going up for him and his family as well as Billy. They both have such a long road ahead.</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 14px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />

I could tell he could hear me but only because his breathing would increase. I played the Beach Boys for him all night long. This morning I brought back the old school and played Barenaked Ladies.<div><br />
</div><div>This morning we found out that Billy will have to wait to go to the Shepherd Center because their insurance people are... well... I do not like them. None of us do.</div><div><br />
</div><div>But also this morning while Jill was helping Billy do some things I went to visit Ron again. Ron Sr and I were sitting there and Ron Jr OPENED HIS EYES!!!!! At first we thought it was just a response to the nurse aggravating him but Sr and I kept talking to him. Sr asked him to blink his eyes if he could hear us and understand, he did it. He continued to do it a few more times. While I was in there later in the morning I was talking to him and he would look at me on and off. I told him to open his eyes and look at the picture of his boy Sawyer I had in front of him and he did. So it is definitely official that he understands what we are saying. This is such a blessing!!! I knew it would happen but it was when and none of us have great patience. </div><div><br />
</div><div>THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR ALL YOUR PRAYERS AND SUPPORT!!!!! </div><div>Its amazing what can happen when you have an army behind you. </div><div><br />
</div><div>Please continue to spread the word and donate what you can. </div><div>There are many sticky things that go along with this situation and these guys need to get the treatment </div><div>they deserve but its going to cost money.

They have identified the type of bacteria and now know how to treat it properly. He is now isolated so when you visit you must wear an attractive yellow gown and gloves. His fever has finally come down to something lower than 104. Keep the prayers coming. I am praying that once they fix this problem, he will be more apt to want to wake up.</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 14px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></span><br />

There has been no neurological changes in my Ron jr. Once he is stable and breathing on his own, the next step will be to transfer him out. If he's awake, he will go to rehab. If he hasn't fully woke up, then he will go into a nursing home. It is still too soon to determine the quality of life he will have. He also still has fever. </span></span><br />

They have opted to delay weaning his sedation until they can get the fever under control. Its source is bacterial. He does have pneumonia but his parents are unsure if there is another source as well. They are supposed to check with the doctors today. He did have a lot of the gunk cleaned out of his lungs yesterday as well.</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 14px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 14px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Billy's angio CT came back clear. The carotid artery is okay. They have been slowly lowering his breathing machine to get him on his own. He got down to 1 yesterday and had to put it back up last night last night which the doctor did say yesterday was normal and may happen. </span></span><br />

He said the bruising has started to heal. There is nothing more he can do at this point. He was concerned about his lack of response. Mama told him that up until now we have been unable to talk to him or touch him. He does want interaction with him now. So please, if you visit start talking to him. It is now up to him as to when he wakes up.</span><br />

He continues to try and pull his catheter out with his toes. lol He and Ron have been running fevers on and off. Billy will be sleeping and resting as much as possible the next several days.<br />
<br />
Ron went back for his tracheotomy a couple of hours ago. He still has pneumonia but with the tubes being removed from his throat hopefully it will help clear it up.<br />
<br />
You all are so wonderful for your concern with our family and close friend. We are lucky to have you.<br />
<br />
There is a benefit show being put together here in Atlanta for the end of the month. More details will follow once I know more.<br />
Love to you all.<br />
Thank you.<br />

I attempted to update this through my phone and obviously it did not work...<br />
<br />
Billy went into surgery today around 12:40pm and came out around 8:20pm<br />
The surgery was successful. They did a tracheotomy, put a peg in his belly and also put the plates in his face and so forth. He had to also have his mouth wired shut and will be able to have it undone in two weeks.<br />
<br />
Thank you for all your continued prayers!!<br />
Now if we could just get Ron moving on a more steady positive track...<br />

They put a tube in his stomach to see if he is bleeding but not bleeding though. His fever dropped to 101.8 but he has pneumonia being given antibiotics.</div><div>If you touch him need gloves but still are not allowed to talk to him. </div><div>Looking more like his self...</div><div>Hopefully tomorrow they will do Ron's tracheotomy.</div><div><br />
</div><div>Billy Update:</div><div>If you enter into Billy's you must wear the Gucci paper yellow gown and purple gloves. Currently Billy has a bacteria infection in his blood. Lungs are looking better but not in the clear. Tomorrow they will be doing his tracheotomy and tentative they will reconnect his upper teeth plate to his face with two metal plates and putting his cheek bones back together with tiny screws. </div><div><br />
</div><div>We do not know what time either of them will go back. But please continue to keep both Ron and Billy in your prayers. </div><div><br />
