FROM facebook (for all those who just don’t go there)

UPDATE: Well the news is very good. Justin woke up and was fighting so much they had to take him off the ventilator. When we got to the hospital this morning, Justin was awake and talking … and talking … and talking. He’s still a bit in a fog, but he is getting closer and closer to the old Justin. He is aware of his injuries, including his amputated left leg. He knew that he was close to death at the scene and remembered everything that happened up to the point of getting on the helicopter … he doesn’t remember anything after that except he thinks the doctors were trying to kill him.

Justin is not out of the woods yet thought. His white blood count is extremely high and they don’t know why. They have been giving him broad spectrum antibiotics but the count keeps going up. The found a non-systemic fungus at the amputation site and are treating that with antifungals. On the CT, they found some fluid near his pancreas they think may be part of the problem and will drain that off today.

We are extremely happy to hear his voice and know he is aware and recognizes everyone and everything. We cannot begin to express how grateful for everyone’s concerns, support, and most of all prayers.
