Unfortunatley no good news yet....only worse.
Carrie (his wife) just called me back after I tried to get a hold of Jeff earlier in his hospital room. He is still in critical condition in ICU. They started the blood thinners yesterday to attempt to rid the blood clots. Since Tuesday he started going insane. He had only had literally a couple hours of sleep in a few days. He started becoming dillusional (sp?) and tried getting up out of bed, ripping his IV's out, screaming, and flat out not making sense. They put him in restraints fearing for he might break his back even more and cause extreme damage, paralysis, etc. At this point they aren't even worried about his back. They are just trying to save his life. There were many items I can't remember that Carrie told me they have been doing to treat him. I can't remember all of them though. They have sedated (or inidated? I can't remember the word) him and he is being monitered hoping that the blood thinners thin out the blood clots and then his body will just absorb them.
It is very scary hearing this kind of thing. This kind of accident shows you how dangerous our sport/ hobby is and that such a little accident can be so serious.
I hope the very best for Jeff and his family and that he pulls through this. Carrie is holding it together pretty good and the hospital staff seem optimistic. Let's all hope and pray for the best for Jeff and his family in this tough time.
I told Carrie if there is ANYTHING we can do to help...to please let me know. She said she will let me know of any news that comes about.
