What a big morning for Ty (and for us)! Cynthia flew in late last night & we made a quick drive-by on Ty just so Cyn could see her & hold her hand. She was pretty gorked out & not very around.
Totallly different story this morning! As soon as we walked in, eyes open...moving hands, legs & toes...nodding in response to conversation in her room (i.e., when doc talked about taking out her breathing tube - big shock - she *hates* that thing, justifiably). She even gave up an irreverent eye roll & head shrug when she set off the beeper on her ventilator by trying to breathe on her time rather than the timing of the ventilator. (SO glad to see that ... that's my girl.) She's definitely more alert, tracked us when we talked to her, nodded when asked questions, etc.
It is a HUGE blessing to have Cyn here - she's a veterinarian, so has much more comprehension of everything that's going on & can explain it to Ty which is so wonderful now that Ty is really much more lucid & aware. Also, today's going to be a tough day for Ty as the push her a little bit to facilitate her recovery & get her to clear her lungs so she can get rid of that tube. That means decreasing her drugs and increasing the aggressiveness of the respiratory treatments to get the gunk out of her lungs. They're doing a treatment with her right now & Cyn is a great source of reassurance while she's enduring it. (I'm afraid I don't have the stomach to see her in the discomfort that's necessary for the treatment to be effective - that's why I'm not the doctor in the family. I'll just keep journaling ;-) Best part for you bawdy riders out there: part of the treatment involves vibrating her bed! No quarters required! She nodded when I ran that joke past her, so we know she's on the mend.
Highlight of the morning: before the treatment, Tyler squeezed Cyn's hand, pulled it up towards her heart, and mouthed "I love you." around her breathing tube. Of course, Cyn & I both lost it. It is SO good to see that she knows we're here for her. We told her about Shannon, and Mom & Ed, and where they are and why they can't be here right now & she nodded. I also let her know all her riding & theater & work buddies were 100% behind her & loving her up from afar & pulling for her. When she's a little more rested after her big morning, I'll read more of the guest book entries to her.
Doc now says there are three possibilities for her California transfer: VMC, Davis or Stanford, and he has calls into all of them and we'll see where she winds up. It's looking like Friday or Saturday will be lift off. I understand many in the biking community wish to escort/follow her ambulance to the hospital, an offering that brought tears to my eyes. She would love that (even if she may not be aware of it at the time) so I will do everything I can to work with you to make it happen. Check the forums for intel.
Ty's resting now after a pretty tough treatment. She knows this is all necessary, thanks to Cyn's explanations & walking her through it, but it doesn't make it any easier on her. She's a tough girl & muscling through, but please send extra good juju to her as she works through today. (Not that you're not already, but...you know what I mean. More later...

Robin,
I know you moved the list of donors to a linked central file for good reason. You used to post a running $$ total...can that be included in that central document as well so we can see what the good will of these Internet communities are doing for Tyler?
Or update total periodically here?

THE TUBE IS OUT!! WAAAHOOOOOOO!!!!
Came back from lunch & first noticed that they had taken her out of restraints, then we clued in & realized the tube was out too!!! She just sat there w/a little smile. Those are some gooooood drugs, I'm sure. (As her doc said, "Better living through chemistry.")
Her spirits are even better now that that thing is outta there. Her first words were to ask about Shannon (we had told her earlier today, but she didn't remember - see above re: good drugs) and we reassured her that Shan was okay, had been up for a visit and was now back home, and she nodded and smiled and quietly said, "Kay." We told her about her following, and all the people pulling for her and she got that happy little smile again. She was joking around w/us a little, and making some of her classic Ty faces, and really seems to have "crawled out of the hole" as her doc put it. SO RELIEVED to have our Ty back. Whew!
It's gonna be a very, very long road of recovery, but her spirit and your prayers are really moving her along well.
She's running a little fever, which the doctor said is to be expected given the severity of her skin trauma (they call it "degloved"). That is what is behind the urgent push to get her to CA - to a hospital well-equipped to handle the massive skin damage she's going to have to deal with. Cyn looked at her wounds during dressing change, and told me the damage is very extensive and really will need quite a lot of attention and medical treatment (wound management, extensive skin grafting, etc.) Even aside from all that, her orthopedic surgeon said no weight on the right leg for three months while her pelvis heals.
This afternoon, they're addressing the blood clot potential of her condition by inserting a little "basket" in a major blood vessel near her heart to catch any clots that may be wandering around in there. They can't put her on blood thinners b/c of her skin wounds.
So......she's resting much more comfortably now, thankfully. Keep the good juju coming, and as soon as I know more re: the when & where of her return to CA I'll post it here.

It's so good to hear she is doing better. I'll continue to pray for her.
<rant>With the reach of this forum and the others involved, I'm not sure people realize what a difference we can easily make in this situation. How many of us will take our families out for dinner and drop 50.00 without batting an eye.....if just 1000 people gave 50.00 we could drop a 50,000.00 !!!! check on Tyler and her family. What this will cost her will far outweight even that. I've never met Tyler but I went straight to paypal and dropped 50.00 when I read about her accident. Not that giving even 5.00 isn't important, let's just show her family what the love for a fellow rider in dire need really is.....</rant>

We have hit the 6,000
The people on the 4 boards participating actively and if you look at the list of donors and see, many that have found this fund form other boards
I want to drop a check for a trillion kazillion, quintillion bazillion dollars on her. I dont really have a goal.. I want it all for her.
The thing about what happened to her that was gut wrenching was to get knocked over,, and know that back wheel is coming.. and you cannot get out from under that fucking bike.. and to see it happen to your own body before you lose consciousness **shudder** What a horrible experience!!
For some reason as I grow older my wife says I get softer inside.. Her experience had a very profound effect on me
For those that dont know my relationship with Tyler I will explain
I have never met her either. She and I are friends on facebook and of course here on the board(s). I have a facebook account for keeping track of my non motorcycle riding friends. And out of the blue, I get a friends invitation from some chick name "Tyler Risk". Now, I am immediatly thinking "Dammit this is why I shut down my MySpace account" because as a guy I was getting 1-20 invitations a day from porn sites but really acting like girls interested in being friends.
So I responded asking "Why"
She sent back "Because I heard you were a nice guy and I know of you from the boards"
Then a couple others.. "Barb" and a few more.
They wanted to be my friend and they did not want a damm thing from me..Fine
Its payback time.. I want to help them and I dont want a damm thing from them (her and her family)
Why?
Because that is what friends do!
She has earned MOUNDS of good karma by beaing as remarkable as she is.
Payback time
6 grand is good money.. Her boss is kickcing down some coin to keep her monthly income intact.. "I wanna know the name of the firm." and If I have a need in the area they do business in, they got my business PERIOD!!
I want to drop 20-30 grand on her.. Her incidentals are going to be HUGE!!!!!!
The help you guys are giving her bring tears to my eyes
Thank you

Sorry bout that man.. I adore my wife and could not imagine.. jes sayin
I dont think most know how fast medical stuff ads up.. some do.... but long term stuff eats at every resource.. Tyler having her income intact is extremely cool.. but that maintains the status quo,, and we are no where near the status quo, nor will she be for some time!
