OK, so you folks don't have to wade through ten million posts to get an actual update, this will be where we post updates as they become available.
Polarbear and the other mods can put any information in here that's pertinent, just PM them. Maybe CC one of us besides Kenny, because he's at the hospital and I'm not sure of his internet access. Feel free, of course, to continue posting updates in the Prayer Line thread, just please let one of us know when you've posted a bona fide update there so we can copy it here. Anyway, as news becomes available, it'll be here as soon as humanly possible. Kenny is checking into the need for help of any sort, and I've told the girls to call me if they need anything and that somebody can be there the day after we get a call that we're needed. Keep prayin', folks. For the family as well.

Luke Update Thread
Just found out that Richard was in an accident this A.M. He is at Wesley in Wichita with some brain trauma and broken pelvis.
We need prayers and good wishes.

Just got ahold of Spawn 1, Deanna, and she is enroute. She'll call me when she knows more, but apparently they had to staple shut a gash on the back of his head, broken pelvis as was previously stated, and she said for the cat scan they had to medically induce paralysis and he was on a breathing machine, but stable and they got him warmed up and comfortable last night.
That's all I got.

Spoke to Kenny a few moments ago. He said that Luke was semiconscious earlier and was able to respond to requests to wiggle his toes but was having trouble moving his arms. The doctors felt like it would be a good idea to run a CT scan (guessing there might have been one last night?) on him and they are still waiting for that test to be finished and get the results.
Continued prayers from here. |

Luke Update Thread
Just heard from Deanna (Spawn 1) and she said they had him in for another CAT scan and some of the bleeds in his brain have gotten bigger, but she said they told her that's normal until they get past 24 hours, so they just have to wait. Apparently, he's still him, though, as they are having to keep him heavily sedated because when he comes out of it a little he gets "agitated" and starts pulling at his tubes and whatnot. Knowing our Luke, I'd say that's probably a good sign, no?
Keep prayin', folks. For the family as well.

Luke Update Thread
Just got home from the hospital. Richard is sedated and will sleep the rest of the night. He has responded to doctors request to move toes and fingers. The family appreciates all prayers and concern for him.
I will go back tomorrow a.m. but will have to leave early due to a doctor appointment but if anything changes i will let you all know. Keep the prayers coming.

DeAnna (daughter of Luke) says he had another CT this morning and the bleeds in his brain look better but he still hasn't woken up.
Still praying here. |

From DeAnna: Dad is going to have a pressure sensor put in at 1:00. This is so they can monitor the pressure in his head accurately. They will also put in an arterial line and a central line. The central line will make it easier to draw blood for labs and such and administer meds. Dad will be having surgery on his pelvis at 2:00. He had a peaceful night last night, and only got agitated when they changed the dressings on his burns on his legs. Please continue the positive and healing energy for him.

From DeAnna: They've started the procedure to put the central line, arterial line, and pressure sensor in dad's head, and then it's time for surgery on his pelvis. The pressure sensor will give us some black and white answers as to what's going on in his head. Please send lots of healing and positive engery for my Dad. I'm worried about what will happen.

I did ask DeAnna about the burns on his calves.

From DeAnna: They called off the surgery on dad's pelvis because the pressure in his brain is too high when he lays down flat. They moved him back to ICU, where they will keep him sitting up and monitor his pressures. They will try to do the surgery later when the pressure is better.

From DeAnna: The sensor is installed and his ICP (IntraCranial Pressure) is normal now. They are going to lay him down at 6 and see what the pressure does.
