Oct 14 11:11

Dr. Gardner was just here. Levi was pretty non responsive. He did try to pull the drs. hand away when he was pinching him. The MRI shows there is still swelling in the frontal lobes and sadly, bruising deep in the left stem. This explains the lack of response in the right side. They are putting the breathing mask back on and giving him a bath right now. I think he really needs more rest for a little while.
I think of a roller coaster ride with all its ups, down, twists, and turns. Some people throw their hands in the air and scream. I just hang on really tight to the bar, close my eyes, and scream.
I don't know what this means.
I do know it's time for lunch.

You asked earlier if I would post my experience in finding Levi. It has taken me a while to figure out how to do this. Tyler at Cookietree has just shown me how to post a comment.

Levi called me at 9:00 AM on the day of the accident asking for assistance in steadying the ladder because he was in some tricky spots now. I told him I would be about 45 minutes.

When I drove up to Squire I noticed the ladder leaning at an angle against the building. After driving around the building to find him I pulled up by the ladder and saw him lying on the ground next to the rocks (boulders).

He had a small cut on the back of his head and was unresponsive. I called 911 at 9:58 AM. The ambulance took less than a minute to arrive. They took Levi to UVRMC. I called Kelly to let her know what happened and then went to the hospital to wait.

Levi is a good friend. We have spent alot of time together at cookietree and in cleaning windows. My prayers and thoughts are with him always.

Thanks Chris for your comment. I think it helps all of us to know what happened and I am soooo very grateful you were there to find him. I know without a doubt that he would have laid there all day and past away if you had not been there. THANK YOU!! I can't imagine how hard it must have been for you to be there, I hope you are feeling better.
Love, Jeny

Kelly,
It sounds like he is really making progress. I put a call into health care licensing, hopefully they call me back soon.
Remember its ok to break down and to smile.
