Sad news...
Grandpa Theisen was brought to Abbott Northwestern this past weekend after his nurses, at Cuyuna Medical Center located in Crosby, MN, found him on the floor and not breathing. There is no news as of now what damage, if any, has been done.
Once he arrived in the Cities, by helicopter, they had him on a machine that cooled him down to preserve his organs while they can get him stabilized and had him in an induced comma until today. Now we just wait for the sedation medication to flush out of his system and see what the neurologist has to say. Apparently, he has been opening his eyes and moving a bit but the doctors say it is just too early to tell. On Wednesday we should know a little more about what his future will hold.
Rob, Olivia and I spent Sunday and Monday at the hospital with Grandma and Rob's brothers. It has been a long road for Bob but we are confident that he will continue to be strong and we just cherish all the times we have had with him.
Grandpa has been in and out of hospitals since March 11th and is now back where he started. Over the last several months he has been to 5 different facilities that were all intending to help his recovery.
We are headed up to the hospital now for another evening of waiting. Grandma Theisen stayed with us on Monday and will again tonight. Olivia seems to be cheering her up and I am glad that she has a little "extra" time to hangout with her. Unfortunately, we don't get up North as much since we had Livi.
