Dear family,
I hate to do this by email but wanted to give you all the information that I have right now.
Yesterday afternoon Bill had a serious motorcycle accident on a ride up Hood Canal. They airlifted him to Harborview. I don't know the details of the accident because I haven't spoken to the local police yet.
He has a badly broken pelvis and will have surgery first thing in the morning.
He has a broken C6 vertebrae and they will probably do surgery to fuse it but they are still evaluating. He has moved his fingers and twitched his feet. The nurse just told me that the ortho docs said they will wait until after the pelvis surgery to do an MRI on his neck. His left leg is in traction which is problematic for the MRI.
He is still pretty sedated and so I haven't spoken to him yet. More accurately, he hasn't spoken yet. They have him on a respirator.
He has a "small subarachnoid hemorrhage" and they have done a couple of CT scans to monitor it.
His vitals have been fairly stable throughout. They are taking very good care of him. At this point we are just waiting to see how things go and how he will respond as the sedation wears off
