Ep 356: Air Force Average Special Reconnaissance Candidate

Mason Gregoire was in a serious motorcycle accident early the morning of September 11th, on his way to work. Initially, we thought it was a badly broken leg but otherwise he was okay, and conscious. However, as his family arrived, we realized it was much more serious than that. He had a ruptured aorta, which was the first surgery they did. It was successful, which is God’s mercy because with that injury alone he shouldn’t have made it to the hospital. He also had some intestinal perforation, which was his second surgery. Then they noticed some swelling on his brain, so they did a minor surgery/procedure to put in a device to monitor his intracranial pressure. The next day, he had an orthopedic surgery to fix his pelvis (broken in 2 places) and leg (broken tibia). He will need a surgery for his broken jaw. He has been mostly unconscious, very sedated, though the nurses are decreasing his sedation meds to wake him up more and gauge his neurological responses. NEW UPDATE: Mason had his breathing tube taken out, so he has been talking some. He is aware of who he is, where he is, and that he was in an accident. He recognizes who his family members are. He still has a fever. His main concern tonight is his breathing rate and oxygen saturation. He isn't getting enough oxygen by breathing on his own. If that doesn't get better by the morning, they may have to reintubate, which brings some risks. PLEASE PRAY.
