weekend post LONG WARNING!
Okay, so this is sort of a hey, please pray with me, also a please be careful on jetskis type post- take it or hate it i dont care, i feel like crap and need to vent so LJ and GC get it....
Okay,
this is a long story but please read it all and then please join me in prayer.....
This weekend we went to the lake Saturday-Monday...
There were 12 boats all parked together out on the lake of friends of ours and we had a lot of fun... one couple, Sandy and Mike- went jet skiing yesterday..
at some point they did a 360 and flew off of the jetski and it flung around- the entire force of the jetski's front his sandy in the head and knocked her unconcious...
Her husband saw her laying limp (face up) and pulled her over to lay on him- he waited a few moments and told someone to get a runabout because she was still out cold.
Immediately I jumped in the runabout, along with John and my cousin Shaun and connie...
We got over there and I immediately was like "let me immobilize her neck" and her husband just kept saying "put her in the boat, she'll be fine".
I was adamant about immobilizing her neck (DAMNIT I took CPR and first aid and safety, I know something here!) and finally they agreed to make sure I kept her neck stable while they moved her into the boat. We got her into the boat and as we rode past some of the boats we were docked with they hollared for us to come over there as we did they said "brian is on his way out" Brian is an EMT, btw... I was like F$%# THAT- get her to the dock the ambulance is on it's way (at this point she was unconcious for 15 minutes) she was breathing, however....
So as we pull out of the cove we see Brian and slow, he jumps in and we are off, he watches her pulse and her breathing while I keep her neck immobile.
We get to the dock and the slow down for the no wake zone- i was like- F$%# THAT PLOW THROUGH this is a GD EMERGENCY!
So they do-
we get to a covered slip and are saying her name repeatedly... her husband is still in this "shes going to just wake up" mode.
Her eyelids were moving and and i noticed her tongue was taut and against the roof of her mouth- so i asked if she had ever had a seizure and he said no. Her neck muscles were spasming and i could feel them.
Finally the paramedics arrived and took her to Burkesville hospital- by this time she had been unconcious for 45 minutes-
They immediately airlifted her to Louisville for the head trauma unit.
She is still there.
I called Konrad (a guy I messed around with for awhile and we haven't talked in AGES!) because he is an anestesiologist at UofL and he was working today so he is going to see how she is and what is going on-
last we heard late last night she woke up and knew everyone- but then she started to convulse and went out- it was so bad they had to tie her to the bed and sedate her- she hasn't woken up again. they think there is brain damage.
and now i feel horrible. Konrad should call me back to let me know how she is any minute- and i am praying she is okay... plus i am hoping i didnt do anything that made it worse.
i feel horrible.
