On arrival from the medevac the doctors here were waiting and he received a full battery of MRI's, CT scans and the Neurologist did a comprehensive assessment immediately. Except for the grim news about the location of the fractures things were looking up: his tactile response was good mentally he had situational awareness. The "respiratory arrest" occurred when they were setting up the Halo Fixator and I believe he just had his airway blocked with a build up of mucus - which has been a minor situation all along due to a slight sinus drip and being flat on his back for 2 days. I am just speculating but the doctor echoed this idea. When it occurred around around 2:30AM this morning it was unexpected and they intubated him immediately and put him under general anesthetic. He was not breathing for around 30 seconds maximum due to the quick response. Theme here seems knowledgeable and competent and their management skills so far seem outstanding. The plan is to keep him under anesthesia until tomorrow morning at which time the best course of action will be reviewed based on his condition. One bit of good news was that they were able to align th last night. I saw the and it was a dramatic improvement corn ared to his arrival and I was told it indicates that the may not be necessary provided can be successfully accomplished. A minor loss of sensitivity in the right foot and hand seems to be fronj there is cautious optimism from the team that this will dissipate with a little time. Or not. Tha was a surprise and certainly would have added to his discomfort on the We're it not for the "respiratory arrest" episode he would have been on the phone with you today - groggy but coherent. Even with the various meds he maintained a sharp ability to focus on the details at hand last night. Headed over to -now but I don't expect any update to the program until tomorrow morning here.
