Jimmy Brooks Update 6-15-2016:
I did not post yesterday out of Respect for my
Mother. She is home watching over us all
as we continue to fight this Battle. I
was Blessed to have her . She was and
will be an inspiration to me. I Love her
and already miss her so much.
Life moves
forward and Our Fight Will not stop.
J.T. While shaken
and upset was mostly concerned for me and the rest of our family concerning
mom's Passing. He knew that he still had
to keep going. He had some excellent yet
tiring rehab these past two days. His
therapist continue to say that he is doing Great. They are Genuinely Impressed with his
determination and Strength. For him to
start out like he did let them know they have a fighter and a competitor on their hands. His endurance
will get better.
We have had some
problems regarding his ability to eat solid foods and in particular to take in
enough calories ( around 3500 to 4000). For him to get what he needs for
rehab. The plan now is to put In a feeding tube which will enable him to
get his calories while still progressing with his swallowing at his pace
instead of forcing things. This also
helps keep the focus on moving toward breathing on his own which is priority
number one. He continues to take lower
doses of medicine and tries to get his days and nights back on track. The feeding tube Surgery will take place tomorrow.
I will post pictures that tell all the story I need to tell. Please pray for a safe surgery, Rest ,
Courage and Healing. Also say a prayer
for Jacob who is away from us st 4-H Camp and for my two brothers as they deal
with Mom's arrangements without my
help. Thank you all for your , Concern,
Love and your Prayers. God Bless #fightfor5
