An update via email from Pikeslayer:

 

Sean's condition remains much the same. Although still critical, he is stable enough that they have scheduled some neurological tests for a better look at what's 'going on' upstairs. We still remain positive and determined that Sean will pull through this.

So here's some good news!! You can send Sean your best wishes and prayers directly via email and delivered to his bedside. We will read every one to him. Here is the link (thanks to Cliff & Sue);

Be sure to select Royal Alexandra Hospital in the location drop down menu. Sean's room number is ICU-18.
Feel free to pass this information along.
Many thanks to everyone,

An update

 

 

Just realized its been a week since the last email update and must apologize for being 'tardy' and keeping y'all in suspense. That said, Sean's progress can't be measured day to day and it is much more encouraging seeing changes week to week. So, since last week;

- Sean's "Glasgow Coma Score" (google it) has increased from a 4 to 8. Meaning his response to stimuli has improved.

- His eyes do open, but do not 'track'. This is still a significant improvement.

- He responds to touch and speech with increased heart rate and blood pressure. I truly believe he hears us :) so keep those emails coming (even if if you've already sent one!!)

Be sure to select Royal Alexandra Hospital in the location drop down menu. Sean's room number is ICU-18.

Family name: Murphy

- The medical team performed a tracheostomy today so he can start breathing on his own. If he's able to maintain this and reach an unassisted 48 hr period, Sean will be released from ICU hopefully by/before the end of next week!!!

- Once he has been released from ICU, he'll be assessed for short/long term care/rehab and if an 'equivalent' medical team/facility can accept him in the GTA, he will be transferred home to Ontario. Timeline could be 6 weeks to 3 months??

 

Sean's road to full recovery is still a long, winding and unknown road. But we all know that he is a fighter and is working hard to overcome this. We have a small and growing army determined to help him win this fight and your positive thoughts, prayers and emails are definitely working. Please stay determined and keep them coming.

 

Brian Labrie is due to visit in the next few days and we're working on having Marianne, Meghan & Tyler fly in on March 1st for a few days :)

 

Please feel free to share/post the good news. Keep those emails coming as they are a little thing that Sean & I look forward to every day.

 

Until next time, a huge BTW: Sean's family and good friends here in Alberta have been his colleagues and family owners @ Mobile Augers. The Murphy's could not have wished for the love and support from Sean's Alberta family. They have been beyond amazing. New friends forever:) (note to Fleming Alumni: you won't regret a career with Mobile).

 

Thx all,

its great hearing that Sean is getting better. It does seem like a long road and Simon I can't imagine what you have been through during this experience. Your strength is a tribute to all good fathers out there! It may be a long road to recovery for Sean but at least he has an army of loved ones along the way to help him through. Stay strong and please keep us updated.
