Wednesday March 3, 2021 - Morning

Brain drain has been clamped a full day earlier than they thought because Brian has been managing his fluids on his own and his ICP has been stable!

Taking multiple tubes and devices out of him- which is good!

Fever overnight, but it's back to normal.

Cultures today to ensure there's no other infections; but antibiotic is working to heal him from the pneumonia! 

Heartrate is back down to a good range. Swelling in hands and ankles is totally gone.

Lauren and Deb got to see a big yawn type movement this morning! 


Pennsylvania State Troopers (who met Brian at a conference) drove through the night to bring some symbols of their well wishes:

NEW FUNDRAISER INITIAVE: Brian's Journey to NeuroSolutions in Austin, TX

Big news! Brian has been accepted into Dr. Brandon Crawford's clinic, NeuroSolutions, in Austin, Texas. He wants Brian for a minimum of two weeks to begin treatment, so we will be making the trip down this spring (late March). We have appreciated all of the continued financial support that has helped us to make Brian's recovery as comfortable and as efficient as possible. I've used funds to purchase and renovate a beautiful, ADA / accessible home, obtain state of the art equipment to make his care easier and functional, bio-hacking devices to aid in his day-to-day healing, insurance on the handicap van, and to 'keep the lights on' since I am still unable to work or be reliable enough to obtain a job. Arguably the greatest gift of all is the opportunity to stay by Brian's side and continue to search for solutions to help him heal and emerge so we can have him back fully. Thank you *all* for making it possible. I don't think I will ever had adequate words of g

Court Hearing // My Impact Statement

Image
There is no sentence or judgment that can be made that will change where we are today or what we have been through. The judgment today will not bring Brian back. So - I’d like for you [Angel]  to listen to how your actions have impacted our lives. Today is a day I’ve dreaded the most because it is forcing me to look back. To grieve what once was, and to relive the most painful and scary moments of our lives. It pains me to have to do this today, without Brian whole, when deep in my heart I hoped and believed he would be the one to speak today.  Before I share how the crash has affected us, I just want to say to Brian, that caring for you and speaking for you has been my greatest honor. You are not a burden to me or to any of us who care about you. The things I'm going to share are difficult to communicate but important for the court to hear today. The things I share are to help convince the court that you receive some measure of justice for the joy stolen from you in your role as a
