Update
Terry has had a very restful and stable weekend. His blood pressure was between 130 and 140 and his cranium pressure was at a 2. He is back on the sedation medicine in order to make him more comfortable. Since Terry has a feeding tube as well as a tube to remove bile in his stomach going through his mouth, it causes him to gag. This makes Terry uncomfortable and causes his blood pressure to rise. He will have the new feeding tube inserted on Monday. Even under the sedation, Terry does hear commands such as open your eyes. He has been responsive to the nurses. Terry continues to fight off the pneumonia and is responding well to the medicine. They will slowly start to ween him off of the respirator today into tomorrow. Overall, it has been a great weekend for Terry. He has grown some facial hair including a trendy mustache and his hair is beginning to grow back. We all continue to focus on each day and celebrate Terry's recovery milestones. Thanks again to all of you for your prayers and support. David Quilleon

To Terry Oprey and family. My name is Jeff Brehmer and was sent a copy of this email string by Mark Restreppo whom I attend church with along with sharing a home group. I am a brain injury survivor, my injury was nearly 12 years ago, December 1994. I was unconscious for 2 weeks, actually woke up on Christmas day 1994. I certainly had a long recovery. but want to say to Terry and his family to hang in there and keep working for and praying for recovery. With modern medicine and the time of healing along with the good lord's favor, anything is possible. I will be praying for a full recovery.
One thing I missed: Jeff Brehmer can be reached at: jeffreybob55@hotmail.com or cel 916 716-6210.
