Hi Gang
I got some updates. Though they are not good. They had some hope last night, and
he did make it through the night last night. They said yesterday there was no brain
activity. They said since Thursday evening he had been throwing blood clots from
his brain. They would get the bleeding stop and it would clot, but then in a short
time, the clot would not hold and it would travel through his body. They were unable
to stop it. He kept throwing the blood clots through his body.
Last night, Dakoka showed some brain activity and flinched when they stuck him with a
needle. They were hoping with all their hearts he continue to improve. But this AM, he
took a turn for the worse. This Morning around 10 am, one of the clots hit another
part of the brain and he lost all brain activity again. They continue trying to stop the
bleeding, and continued hope he would gain some brain activity back.
At 6 PM, another brain EKG was done, and there was still no brain activity. His parents
and family have made the decision if he continue's no brain activity, to donate his organs
and turn off the life support. My understanding it was to happen at 10 PM tonight. When
a team could be brought in to do the transplants. I will update once I learn more.
Please continue to keep Steve and Kelly in your prayers. This is beyond heart breaking
to loose him, and to loose him tonight, with Mothers Day being tomorrow.
Thanks Vicky
