Ya both lungs collapsed from the hit, I'm guessing the broken ribs didn't puncture the lung, not sure though, she said the bruised part sloughed off, sounds tough for sure, he's gonna be there a long time

Curt had a rough night, had to call Dr in to work on lungs again, took a long time, nurse said he could have this trouble for a few days, must be part of lungs healing, hope his lung heals ok

Dang what a long road to recovery this poor guy has. Hope he heals up good.

You got that right

So lucky the family wasn't in his truck, so I guess once in a while getting in trouble is good! His oldest son got caught cutting donuts on school parking lot, boy couldn't go to wrestling tournament, so mom stayed home with the three boys too.
Or possibly one of them would have noticed his mistake and stopped him?

Good news today, he was able to sit in a chair for 2.5 hours, it totally wore him out. Hoping for more good days! Thanks for prayers

Sorry to hear about the accident, glad to hear he's getting better. Same thing happened to my bro in law last year, the night before his daughters wedding. He survived and is doing very well now. Some memory loss and some facial fractures around eye that didn't heal the best. But so thankful we still have him.

How did it happen? Did he get hit on door too? I lost several friends to roll overs years ago, if only w they had their belt on

Curt is doing more sitting in chair, maybe any day they will take him out of ICU, he still can't talk because of trach thing, he gets more supplemental air to help him sometimes, he seemed to perk up a little when someone talked about work, hope he keeps improving, he is still having trouble with his left lung, must have been damaged pretty bad

Sorry I am just seeing this... I'm praying for a continued, speedy and full recovery. Rough deal. Life is like that sometimes. Glad it wasn't worse.

Thanks, every update we get his mom says thanks for lifting Curt up in your prayers, I sure hope he keeps improving, he is well liked by the people he knows and works with

Thanks for the update. Prayers continue

Thanks Adam! Maybe we can get over there to see him now, it's more than 2 hours away from here

Good news, Curt's wife said he waved n smiled at her when she came in the room, she said he even whispered I love you to her
Hope he keeps improving! His brother asked if he was ready to get out of here, he nodded yes

Last night he wrote on board for nurse to call his wife and tell her he loves her and misses her, this was about 12:30, she went to see him at 3:30am, hoping his cervical fracture has healed enough to take the collar off, real uncomfortable

I guess last night was a tough one, today he's back on resperator and they asked for no visitors, having trouble with his left lung

Prayers

Thanks! They appreciate every one, hopefully today is better for him, damaged parts of lung coming loose, and phlem from left lung I think

Today he had help, but walked to door of his room and back to bed! It was all he could do, fell to sleep right away. They moved him from icu to a regular hospital room, they might have him start therapy soon. He got very little sleep last 3-4 nights, not sure what was wrong
35 days, long time already
I think they are close to letting him talk, not sure if trach will be removed, or if there are other reasons

I guess they, Drs thought Curt needed therapy, it was to get used to not having the trach, to wean him off it. I think he removed the trach himself a few days ago, and has been doing ok.
Looks like it won't be long before he can go home, hope he continues improving. They thank you all for the prayers
