It is a miracle Paul is even alive!
At 11:10 am on Feb. 9th, Paul was crushed by thousands of pounds of wood at work. Several cants (apx.500lbs each) pressed against his torso area from his head, neck and abdomen. He has a tear in one lung, broken/crushed thyroid cartilage (adams apple), and massive soft tissue damage throughout his back and chest. His lung is slightly collapsed with some air escaping into his chest, which they are monitoring regularly with x-rays. Also, when someone gets crushed, it releases some kind of chemical that gets flushed through the liver and kidneys, and they are watching regularly for damage of those organs. The CT scan showed that his spine is okay.
They also said his adams apple was crushed.
They also told us that he had multiple broken bones, but it turns out that he didn't. However he does fractures throughout his ribs and sternum.
They also said that he has an anoxic brain injury, which is very concerning!
One paramedic said it is a miracle that he could talk. He is stable and receiving CCU care. They don’t have a room in CCU yet, but the team from that department comes to his emergency area, and he may be moved there today. He is talking, but can’t walk yet. The massive tissue damage throughout, along with his other injuries is extremely painful for him, and he is on huge amounts of morphine. Thank you for your prayers!
