Hello everyone. I am Drew's brother in law. I was with him 20 min ago..about 11pm Indiana time. He hadnt opened his eyes but did move his mouth some and seemed to be trying to swallow. Having the tube oiut of his mouth has got to feel good to him. He is breathing through a tracheostomy tube now (hole in the throat) still on the ventalator.. That is progress and something to worry about. He also has moved his head a little side to side. Encouraging .....

Drew just got out of surgury on his left leg. The surgery went well. He's yet to wake up but were all hoping that he's going to be okay, but we won't know right away. Thanks for all your thoughts and prayers it means a lot to everyone. I'll try and post any changes in his conditions.

I just recieved news from LaBoo who spoke with Drew's mom, Marie... this is the info I would like to pass on to all who are concerned and are praying and hoping for Drew's quick recovery....Drew was driving home and while in Illinois he crossed the grassy median and was hit by oncoming traffic.... Emergency personnel responded and Drew was airlifted to a hospital in Evansville Indiana that specialize in head trama situations...He was on meds and now they've lowered the doses, but he's not yet woken up... He is wearing a head moniter to check for damage.... but (good news) he has responded with performed and purposefull movement, meaning he's pulled at his medical tubes and pushed away when touched... thats positive, huh? This morning, Friday, Drew had a CScan test and there has been not enough time to get the results yet.... He really needs us to pray for him and keep he in our thoughts.. and don't forget about his family and friends.. We should help in any way we can.. thanks to all!
