Brother Glacius Posted October 27, 2016 Report Share Posted October 27, 2016 Well, in 30 years, if still in prison, then he'll have served justice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InfestedKerrigan Posted October 27, 2016 Report Share Posted October 27, 2016 That unfortunate incident happened over in K-Falls, right? I echo the rest with regards to the sentencing. It doesn't right what was wronged, but it's a step and it's something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raindog Posted February 28, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 Hello, My brother's titanium and cadaver bone jaw did not take. He was having massive infections, so today he went to OHSU to have a huge surgery. The removed the implants, titanium, and cadaver bone and cleaned up his jaw line. They found more bullet fragments and cleaned those out. Then, they remove his fibula from his leg including the arteries and used it to make his new jaw. This required a tracheotomy. The surgery lasted 11 hours. Then, in post op, they discovered the new arteries were not bleeding, so he had a second surgery. That was another 3 hours. He is resting now.

PumpkinHead Posted February 28, 2017 Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 Holy Cow! My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. No family deserves to go thru what you are going thru. Since the Drs removed his fibula and some arteries, how will that affect his mobility, if at all? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raindog Posted March 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2017 I hung out with him until 1 AM. 1) The infection causing the surgery is probably e.coli. 2) He was able to sit up for an hour. 3) He is not a swollen as he could be. 4) He can talk. 5) He sleep a good portion of the time he was not being attended to by the staff at OHSU, albeit very lightly. 6) The man in the room next to him screams for hours at a time. 7) His room has a cool view of the tram, the ross island bridge, omsi, and the tillikum crossing. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raindog Posted March 4, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2017 Another surgery today. The doctor had to removed all the transplanted soft tissue. They soaked the wound in antibiotics and added a paste to help grow bone. The guy in the next room is still screaming constantly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
