They finally stabilized him enough to transport him to the OR and put a drain tube in his inflamed gall bladder. This should correct some of the internal infections. Currently he's on a "Star Wars" respirator that's doing all of his breathing. He's in a medical induced "paralyzed position" so he won't resist the respirator. He has breathing tubes in his throat and nose, 9 broken ribs on the left, 3 on the right, broken clavical, fractured shoulder blade, fractured breast bone, fractured back in two spots and a whole lot of road rash. Besides all that, hopefully he will start recovering soon. The tubes and respirator won't be removed for at least 4 or 5 days.
