Man this heavy news to the heart, my sister in law had preemclampsia after child birth and had two anuerisms in her brain, they did everything thier doing to Ken. By the lords soveriegn will and praying unceasingly she pulled through a coma. While she was in a coma and this is for real she said she heard the lord and saw the light, the nurses in the . I. C. U were even awestruck at the answer they saw to our 48 hours of active prayer. May the lord have mercy on Ken, his wife and the staff caring for him. May the lord grant us peace and mercy as we enjoy his nature while on our bikes. Amen and good night friends.

Tough to see a fellow rider go down from a trail I ride almost every week. My prayers go out to Ken and his family. I will check the link and check his progress. I am riding/leading an El Moro ride(with a group) on Saturday and will dedicate the ride to Ken. Prayers will be sent before the ride and that we all have good safe rides and Ken for a speedy recovery. I wish his family the best also.

Ride Long and Perspire
|
These times are sooo hard but they can and do turn out ok.
A very close family member on my wife's side had a Massive aneurysm early this year... massive because we was on a heavy does or coumadin blood thinner at the time, his brain filled with blood. By the next morning we were discussing how to let him go. This on the heals of losing My Wife's beloved father to cancer...her world was crashing in on her and us. But Richard was not ready to go and I guess he had more to do, he regained enough consciousness to let us know to not give up (that was a miracle in itself, the docs are still not sure how he managed to do that). I won't go through the whole recovery process it was long and scary and continues (which included removing a major portion of his skull and "cleaning" out the blood etc). But today...unbelievably Richard is doing great, My wife is there this weekend visiting and he is doing everything he was before including that mischievous sense of humor. So go slow...because you have to...each day will bring something new...sometimes good sometimes not...and with some time and work and patience and faith you should have your loved one back where he belongs home and safe and well. Good luck and Thoughts and Payers. |

People may be doing this already but I know it helps to talk to the person in the coma because, I've been in a coma. I could hear people talking around me I just could not respond. I belive it must be hard to talk to a loved one that dose not respond but it does help. I could hear and understand as clear as day. Just my two cents. Keep your faith strong and Know that Jesus is REAL.

10/11 Update...
Saturday, October 10, 2009 9:00 PM, PDT
Today are still moving forward... Ken is still being weaned off the coma meds and is on the fast track - less than two weeks. He should be off totally within the week. We have turned the corner from critical to the slow process of waiting for the brain to fully wake up. He even moved out of the "trauma" section to his own room in ICU. In the meantime, his lungs are still not great and being suctioned. He is battling a fever. They have not found any infection so it is thought that it is a reaction to the trauma (neuro-fever). It is not super high and is manageable. This morning the nurse and I tried to get him to open his eyes, but he was not interested. He is looking more like himself - minus his hair. This morning I saw that they had shaved only half of his head for the cranial surgery - they were in a hurry, so the nurse shaved the other side this morning. He is my dear sweet hubby no matter what his hair style... As a family we are working on getting into a new groove and balancing school, hospital, and home. There is a sigh of relief to see movement forward, but a note of reservation as we head down a path where there is so much unknown. Thank you for carrying us through your prayers, words of encouragement, and support. You are an important part of the healing process for Ken and us. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- After speaking with Ken's wife yesterday, she and her family will begin spending time with him just talking to him even though he is still in an induced coma. They'll play some of his favorite music in his room as well just to bring him back into 'familiar' surroundings. I plan on spending some time with him after work for a few days to talk to him as well. I will extend everyone's well wishes and prayers. Still more road to haul, he's not done yet, but the reports are encouraging. Keep up the prayers everyone! Peace - |

10/12 Update
Monday, October 12, 2009 6:49 AM, PDT
Yesterday was uneventful...it seems strange to say. But, when you are in the waiting game, that is just how it is. There were a couple of baby steps yesterday - he was able to tolerate having his head in more of a sitting position, and I saw him move both his arms and legs. When he was originally brought in, he was busy moving them, but that was before the injuries started appearing. Kaleigh and I went to visit Ken yesterday afternoon and talked to him about where were we were off to - Starbuck's coffee run. It our Sunday afternoon family tradition and Kaleigh did not want to miss it. He did not respond, but it the beginning of stimulating his brain with the things that are familiar. I have to admit, it feels a bit strange it talk to him when he is asleep. But, he will begin to respond in God's time. The meds are still keeping him very sleepy and it is not a bad thing right now. God made an amazing body that heals itself while we are sleeping. As I was awake for a good amount of time last night, my brain went to all of the "things" that I need to do (I like lists) and what still needs to be addressed, handled, worked out, etc. Ken slept for both of us last night. This morning God reminded me that although I like to have a list and to cross off those items, I need to be willing to work on His list for the day, not mine. I need to not hold tight to my agenda, but look for His - to join God at work today. As I work through my list am I am willing to moving off mine to work on His? He has my details covered; He has the timing covered; He is in control and desires to have me join Him at work today...what a privilege.

10/13 Update...
Tuesday, October 13, 2009 6:50 AM, PDT
Yesterday was spent waiting for his body to continue to stop feeling the effects of the meds. Toward the end of the day, I saw more movement in his legs and arms and his eyes opened more often. The movements are spontaneous to the brains irritation. Right before I went in to see him, he had Physical Therapy working on range of motion and his nurse had turned him. That was enough stimulation for his brain to handle. When they were done, they turned off the lights and quieted the room to help soothe him. We should see more of this as we progress through the week - emerging from the coma signs. There is a scale that every brain injured patient works through as they recover - Rancho Scale. Ken is waking up at Level 2 where he responds to stimuli (Level 1 there is no response to stimuli). The Rancho scale helps us to see progress and understand the "warming up" action of the brain. It reminds me of a copy machine - after you clear the paper jam it tells you to "wait" while it goes through a series of internal tests before it is ready again. While the copier get through its internal testing quickly - although if you are in a hurry you think it is slow; the brain is slower in getting through each test. You could get through 1 level in a day and be stuck on another for 1-2 weeks or longer. To this point, every phase has been hard in its own way, but I am emotionally challenged in a new way. My understanding is that these next few levels are the toughest on the family. With the small glimpse of yesterday, I think that they are right. His body has to go through it, but it is tough to watch and participate in - now I know why in the movies they just wake up and are miraculously healed. My natural response is to rescue - hold, touch, hug, and speak, but that is stimuli to the brain. There is this tough balance when it can be calming or agitating and every time it is different. Please continue to pray not only for healing, but for God to sustain us during these difficult levels. The timeframe to get through them belongs to God. I can say that I do not really want to go through them, but God continues to ask me to walk through the difficult and hold His hand - as He is faithful to lead, comfort, and carry me. |

10/14 Update
Wednesday, October 14, 2009 6:58 AM, PDT
This morning in my quiet time, God brought back to me the verses that He gave me when Kaitlyn was born and diagnosed. "We wait in hope for the Lord; he is our help and our shield. In him our hearts rejoice for we trust in this holy name." Ps.33:30-31 These last couple of days have been difficult for me as I process through the medical maze, help the girls process their own feelings and being available to comfort, and my own sadness and heartaches. As I type this I look across the kitchen table and Ken is not there reading the paper and having breakfast with me. As we wait for Ken's healing, we are waiting with hope in a God that can make the blind man see, make a lame man walk, and rose from the dead. He is more than able. I have learned that healing comes in all shapes and sizes - through doctors and medicine, and the miraculous touch of God either here on earth or in heaven. Ken is still holding steady medically. As I explained to Kaleigh, not moving forward is better than moving backwards. Yesterday they did discover that he has a blood clot in his left arm. He has a IVC filter so as they treat it he is protected. We noticed that the lights and sounds that the nurses, therapists, doctors create make his brain irritated - heart rate and breathing increases. It seems to take awhile for him to be calm again. I love that God gives us a new day - an opportunity to see Him at work in the big and small stuff and the ability to grab His hand for comfort. Thank you for your faithfulness to our family - you are a testimony to Christ.

I know this has probably been gone over a million times, but you always take things for granted until things like this come along and shake things up. You and your family are in my prayers...
<--rides with a little more caution than normal now and prayer for safety before I leave.

Stuck up, half witted...

Denmo/Silverspot - thank you for keeping us continuously updated. I check frequently to see how Ken's doing and have been keeping him in my prayers. Please let Ken's wife know that there are many of us out here in the community praying for him. Also let her know that her faithful steadiness and trust in the sovereign Lord has been a huge encouragement to this weak and shallow heart of mine.

One thing has become clear to me as I've been reading through this thread: no matter how light your bike is or how long you've been riding or how fast you can go...we all love our bikes and love to ride. This is the tie that binds. The amazing response and hundreds of prayers offered up for Ken are a testament to the good in people. Let's all hold onto that good.
Ken...keep fighting and healing. Dan & I are pulling for you. Ken's family...our prayers go to you for continued strength and courage. |

10/15 Update...
Thursday, October 15, 2009 6:14 AM, PDT
Yesterday Ken was more alert and awake - I use that term loosely; his eyes were open more. We have moved to the next level as signs of awareness are starting to emerge. He is starting to react more to what is seen and heard. Right now, the reactions are slow and inconsistent. Kaleigh and I made posters with family pictures and brought them to the hospital last night. At this stage we are pointing him to what is most familiar. There is no short term memory at the moment, so for him it is going back to what has been consistent and familiar for him over the past 5-10 years. In some ways it is hard to believe that we have hit the 3 week mark since Ken's accident. It has been an amazing physical journey for Ken - from a broken body to one that is moving forward in the healing process. For me, the journey has been physical (lack of sleep comes to mind), but mostly emotional and spiritual. If someone would have told me ahead of time that this was going to be our journey, I would have said "no thank you". But, as I look back over the last 3 weeks, God has met me at every moment. He has equipped me to process an abundance of information: He has connected the dots for me to understand the next phase; and He has given me peace in the midst of unrest. I am brought back to the heart check questions... Do you believe I am who I say I am? Do you believe that I love Ken more than you can imagine? Do you believe that I can heal? Will you trust me to take care of you, Ken, and the girls in my way? The circumstances or the heartache are not ones that I would choose, but yes, I believe and I trust in a God who loves me more than I can imagine. |

10/16 Update
Friday, October 16, 2009 6:50 AM, PDT
Thursday was a quiet day. Ken spent most of the day sleeping and resting. They are working to wean him off the ventilator. He spent about 6 hours off of it and then they gave him a rest. He has been on it for awhile, and the body becomes dependent on it so they are giving his lungs a workout to build up strength. I believe God used yesterday for both of us to rest. The days prior had been filled with life and emotions all over the board. As I sat in the quietness of the waiting room, I realized that we were both in a peaceful place that only God could give. Thanking God for the rest in Him. In reading my devotional this morning, these words struck loud and clear... "In the natural realm, prayer is not practical but absurd. We have to realize that prayer is foolish from the commonsense point of view." Prayer is work - not the type of work that we commonly think of. It does not make sense to a fallen world, but God works beyond the natural realm. Thank you for your "work" on behalf of us. There is fruit from your efforts as we felt yesterday - the rest and peace that is unexplainable to the world and can only be found in Christ. |

10/17 Update...
Saturday, October 17, 2009 7:45 AM, PDT
Friday did not bring any giant changes, but small forward movement. I brought in an iPod with music that Ken likes. When the nurse put the earbuds in, his right leg started moving. It was the first time that we have seen him move his leg in a responsive type manner. He is off all of the sedation meds and has finished the methadone treatment. This week we will be working on coma stimulation with consistent familiar items to push those brain connectors into working. We are still working on getting rid of the blood clot in the left arm - it has not had much change. They found another one yesterday in his right arm and have put him on meds to help them dissolve. This morning I watched a hummingbird feeding on the flowers in the backyard. God supplies all that it needs everyday - day after day. It does not worry about food or shelter. My mind drifted back to the power of prayer and how God has answered each one - whether it was about Ken's healing, my worries, fears, and heartaches. He is a faithful and steadfast God that even knows how many hairs on my head. I have a specific request for you to join me in prayer about. Without going into too many details, there are 2 brain injury rehab places that were recommended as the best places to take Ken in the condition he is in - St. Jude and Casa Colina. He is young and healthy with a good chance at full or close to it recovery. It is where the the brain specialist would send her husband for the best treatment. The insurance company is pushing to get Ken moved immediately and wants to send us to a facility where the average is 70. It is not for active healthy adults who can make a good recovery and get back into life. I am asking that you petition the Lord on our behalf that we can get Ken into one of these two rehab places; that the insurance will approve and pay for the treatment until he is well enough to come home; that we will reap the benefits of these progressive brain injury treatments; and that God will be honored through the process. Thank you for your faithful and steadfast prayers and support. You are a testimony of Christ's love. |
