Prayers for him and the family.

Wilkie’s daughter posted this on Facebook late last night:

UPDATE 12/16/18

Dad has been off his sedation medication since 7:15 this morning. He is currently breathing mostly on his own over the ventilator. He had his eyes open off and on today as there is still sedation medication still working it’s way out of his system. Tomorrow they expect to take him off the ventilator. Please continue to pray as we get these baby steps. My brother flys home tomorrow afternoon. Please pray for safe travels for him.

So this is starting to sound better.

Prayers for the great Wilkie and family sent.

A great sports fan and the perfect representative for Louisville. I pray for his full recovery.

Wilkie has always been a great guy, prayers sent.

Anything new to update? I hope no news is good news.

Prayers for Wilkie. I remember him from the old CUSA Killerfrogs board

12/20/18 UPDATE
SURGERY HAS BEEN CANCELED
I will update again later, but as of this morning Dad has been breathing on his own. At 5:30 this morning he decided to use his good arm and take out his ventilator. He is on 2% oxygen with a nose cannula. He still has an NG tube for nutrition, blood sugar levels still look good, BPs and temps are still good. Not positive that they will cancel surgery, but waiting on the doctor before we know for sure! We need him to start coughing to get mucus and stuff out on his own or they will do surgery. Please continue to pray that we can accomplish this today.

Please keep praying for our friend.....

Baby steps, My mother had a bad stroke about a year ago. You just have to accept every small gain.

Any more news ??

Hopeful this is a case of "no news is good news."

Wilkie’s Daughter posted some updates the last couple of days. Please continue to pray for our friend....


12/26/18 UPDATE

Dad was more awake and aware of things today! He was following a few small and simple commands. Tomorrow they are doing the surgery @11:00 am to put in his abdominal tube line for feedings. We are moving in the right direction. By the end of the week to the first of next week he will be moving to a rehab facility. They are currently talking rehab at Frazier. Our only fear is that if something were to happen he would be admitted to Jewish Hospital and not back to Baptist East. To be admitted back to Baptist East he would need to go to another rehab facility. Please pray for us that we make the right decision and that he continues on the right path with his recovery.

Well that was fast. They are finished, peg line in and now we are waiting for to come to recovery.


Please keep praying for our friend.....

Thank you for the update!!
