Tyrone Duckworth Update 6/30/07

Jackie sent us this email, to let us know how Tyrone was doing...

thanks mark and loretta- right now he is in isolation in icu and they only let in 2 family members at a time and we have to wear masks and gloves-(i guess so we cant blame them if we get it) ..

I'm hoping we caught it sooner this time and that he will recover sooner without getting pnemonia.

He had nose surgery several years ago cause he has always had sinus trouble and now the dr. thinks that he has a hole or crack in the thin layer that separates his sinus cavity from his brain and that when he got a sinus infection- the bacteria from that got through to his brain & /or spinal fluid.

I just cant believe he is having to go through this again- Once in a life time was enough for anybody to endure.

I'll keep yall posted on when he gets to a regular room and not isolated.

Already got lots more stories to tell of how he took on about 10 strong emts-while laying on the gurney and then today when he started to come to after getting an mri before they could get him back to the room- and me holding my breath,- saying "he's wakin up -- need tranquiler gun quick!!"

As Jackie keeps us updated, I will post it here...
