[Husker] Update on Lee Wilmart

[Pam Rietsch]

Hi All,
 
I just got off the phone with Jeff, Lee’s son from Sweden. He said that they
are still having difficulty controlling the oxygen levels that they are
keeping him on, averaging 60-70%. 
 
The neurosurgeon has said that the brain function is looking much better.
They have had him on two different forms of chemical comas and they are
attempting to pull him slowly out.
 
They plan to remove the breathing tubes on Monday and they are going to do a
tracheotomy so that he will be able to talk when they bring him more out of
the coma. Jeff said that he is glad that he is going back to Sweden tomorrow
because he does not want to hear the words Lee will have to say over that
procedure.
 
They did an x-ray on his skull and found that there are numerous fractures
all over the left side of his face, his occipital bone (around the eye), his
cheekbone, his septum (nose) and other smaller bones. But they cannot
operate like they want to because of the oxygen situation. 
 
Jeff said that all and all Lee is doing better and this will take a long
time to heal as he could have very easily been dead from all the damage. 
 
I will keep you abreast of the news as I know it. 
 
As to today’s game, I too had problems with the game, they said it started
at 12:30 and when I turned the tv on at 12:25 they were already ¾ of the way
through the first quarter and there have been numerous like frozen screens
that shows a map of the blocked out area, so have no idea what is going on.
I would think that the millions they make on these games that they would be
able to solve such things as this
