1:00 PM CST
They have taken David off all of the sedatives/drugs that kept him in a coma. He's still unresponsive except that when they pinched his ears, one arm moved a bit towards the touch (appropriately), but the other arm didn't move appropriately. The doctor's said he might still have some of the drugs in his system. He has a couple broken ribs that will heal by themselves, a broken pelvis that doesn't need surgery, and a broken nose. There are tubes everywhere mom said, and he has a bolt in his head to relieve pressure if needed, but the pressure in his head is lower today. He got a feeding tube today and has been receiving electrolytes and an IV. His lungs had deflated on impact and he has chest tubes coming out, but that isn't a big concern. The major concern is him waking up.
1:50 CST Mom forgot to mention that he has a low grade fever, but it's stayed the same so they're not too worried unless it peaks. He might have a sinus infection that was aggravated by putting in the chest tubes/intibation tubes earlier.
He's flying out around 1pm Friday(Germany time) and shoud get to Washington Friday around 3 PMm EST. Mom and dad will get to Dulles about 3pm as well, and Christa and I are planning on going there to meet him.

Thank you so much for having this blog and keeping everyone informed. Its really helpful to not be kept in the dark while we're all miles away from a situation we can't do anything about.
Thank you for keeping us all updated, with out this information on him I am not sure if I could handle not knowing what was going on.
I just pray for him and the family, I can not even imagine how stressful this is. You all are in my family's and my prayers.
