Coach34 Update

[Brahmabull]

Update-

Sedation lowered and he is responding to basic commands of squeeze my hand, move your toes. Turning his head to voice commands. This is an amazing development but still so far to go and by no means out of the woods.

The goal today is to keep him sedated still so as not to fight the vent tube. While doing that decreasing his reliance on the vent tube to hopefully get it out and see where we are.

Win The Day

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

Excellent news.

Other thread mentioned concerns about organ failure/damage and cognitive damage.

Obviously we won't know about the cognitive stuff till later, but do we at least know a bit about organ damage? Is he in the clear there?

If what y'all said about him coding four times for ten minutes each time is correct, that is indeed amazing, REALLY amazing.

[Cowbell]

Praise God

[THE Bruce Dickinson]

Great News! Keep up the fight!

[Cowbell]

I want to encourage each of you to seek a relationship with Christ - not just going to church and believing in a God. None of that amounts to a hill of beans if you don't have a personal relationship with him,

[NCMSTFAN]

Good news! Continued prayers

[MaroonFlounder]

Praying for healing. I will buy some of that diet coffee of his when he returns :)

[Saltydog]

Outstanding News. . . . .Keep fighting Coach, keep fighting and we all need to continue praying. . . . .

[chef dixon]

That's the best update you can hope for at this point. I'm sure he's trying to find his phone to post "it's coming" lol

[Turfdawg67]

Amazing news! Will continue to pray for him!

[EdwardDrayton]

The power of prayer fellas. Keep 'em going up!! God is good!!!

[confucius say]

Amen. And I'll add, when Lee is on the other side of this, I hope if he is not already a believer that we will make sure he is. Life is short guys.

[Dawgface]

Good to read this update. Certainly better news than the last couple of days. Still praying......

[bobtail bob]

This is fantastic news. He’s going to beat this shit and will be back on his feet sooner rather than later. I can feel it in my spirit. Doesn’t he have a couple of children too ? I don’t know him but there is enough of us here that could put something together for him and his family. I know I would contribute. Dawgs take care of dawgs.

[WSOPdawg]

Keeping the prayers coming, Coach. Hang in there.

[dawgoneyall]

Good

[dawggoneit]

Continuing prayers 🙏🙏🙏

Reading all the good things from ED posters is amazing and makes me feel proud to be a small part of this message board!

I pray and hope for 34 and maybe he will read this stuff one day!

Agreed. No matter what you think about him, when he posts, EVERYONE stops and reads it. It's been great entertainment over the years and I think we all can respect his opinion and love for State. I hope we get to see more of his posts soon. Get well soon C34.

[Brahmabull]

Evening Update I was given


Good day because of no setbacks and some other positives. Sedation is being slowly backed down which will enable him to become more lucid. With that thought he becomes agitated which decreases his oxygen level. It’s a delicate balance between easing back on sedation but keeping enough he doesn’t tax himself. It’s a slow steady process

That said he is responding to some commands. He squeezed my hand this morning and moved his toes. He also moves his head toward voices. I now believe he is in there. Very positive but so long to go.

Another major development is later today he started to produce urine for the first time which means his kidneys are starting to wake up. Huge deal.

Another is the right side of his heart which was enlarged and had high pressure has now started to go down.

Things are progressing positively. Not out of the woods by any stretch but remarkably better than yesterday. Keep moving forward.

Best thoughts his way!

[Mjoelner34]

..... He squeezed my hand this morning and moved his toes. He also moves his head toward voices. I now believe he is in there...

Fantastic! Since the report that the clot busters finally seemed to be doing some good, my biggest concern was the minimal response of his pupils. This makes me feel a lot better but not letting up with the praying.

Just tell him that KB21 is coming by to discuss Airbone VS the virtues of the AirRaid. That should get him out of bed**.

Took me a while to catch up on what's happened. Hate to hear this and we are praying!

Incredible news. What a mighty God we serve! Not that I serve him the way I should. But you get the point. I've prayed several times that if Lee's heart doesn't know God that the Lord would have mercy and allow him time. I don't pretend to know the answer to that, but I just hope this all works to His glory!

Man that's some great news! Keep fighting Coach!

Continued prayers!

Thanks for the continued updates too!

[Homedawg]

Just wow. Anything is possible. This proves it

[Bdawg]

The infinite power of God….it knows no bounds. I pray it is God’s will that this is not Coach’s time and he has a full recovery. And that this experience will glorify God and be an inspiration for others to seek, believe and have a personal relationship with Him. Life is really a blink of an eye compared to eternity. May God bless you all!! Get well Coach!!

[DownwardDawg]

I've prayed more for C34 (Lee) than I've prayed for anyone in a long time. I know I'm just a little person praying, but it feels good when you pray so hard and you hear positive results. Everyone please keep praying. We are making a difference.

[InTheIttaBenaHotSun]

Continued prayers for you coach....now let's go win another day!

[Bothrops]

Thinking about 34 everyday. Prayers continue.

[ScoobaDawg]

That's Huge news to hear his kidneys are recovering. Amen

[magrooder]

Praying for C34's continuing recovery and looking forward to more positive results in the hours and days to come.

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

Very well said and so very true!

[ArrowDawg]

This is AWESOME news! Keep fighting, Coach34!

[DEDawg]

Keep fighting coach were all praying for you

[Lord McBuckethead]

Thinking about 34 everyday. Prayers continue.

Me too. I am not really a prayer, but he has been in my thoughts every day since this all went down.

[smootness]

Still praying! Come on, C34!

[dawgatauburn]

When Coach returns to this board and reads through these threads about him, I just wanted to make sure my name was listed amongst those pulling for his recovery.

Come on Coach. Fight like hell.

[Brahmabull]

Update

Nothing new really which is ok and kind of expected. Still responding to commands. Electrolytes were a little out of balance so they are managing that. Doing well with the auto setting on the vent which is good. I don’t expect much action today quite honestly. Keep slowly progressing forward to hopefully get the vent tube out soon. If anything major happens out of this plan I’ll update but i don’t expect it.

[State82]

Thanks for updates Brahmabull. Prayers continue every day.

[CadaverDawg]

Let's Go Coach...get your ass better. Come on here and tell us all we're a bunch of sissies for getting all sappy about you being in bad shape. I'm here for it, and praying for it. Seriously, fight man. Lord knows you're one of the best at fighting

[Martianlander]

Prayers sent. Get well coach

[msudawg1200]

Been praying everyday

[Treemydawg]

Praying for ya Coach

[Turfdawg67]

Come on Coach. Fight like hell.

Dang! His EGO will be twice as big as normal... and I'm okay with that. Keep getting better Coach!

[Cooterpoot]

Somebody take him a get well foam bat to the hospital. I'll pay for it.

[Cowbell]

This is a heck of a way for coach to keep us all engaged in the offseason - there has been more positive in this thread than any nonsense that we are usually bickering about

[TUSK]

Just tell him that KB21 is coming by to discuss Airbone VS the virtues of the AirRaid. That should get him out of bed**.

Nah, tell him that "TUSK said 'Saban > Miles'...."

That's better than a crash cart.....

[EdwardDrayton]

It's fine to disagree, but maybe we should keep the calmer mindset. I know I've been guilty of saying things that were too far, but from now on y'all feel free to call me out if I say something too personal or over the top. Hope nothing but the best for all of y'all and Lee.

I think even with the impassioned discourse at times we still have in the back of our minds we're all members of the Big Maroon Pool. When it's done we're sharing beer and Q together in a manner of speaking.

Well said and definitely something to ponder when things get kinda riled up. Keep fighting C34 and we will keep up the prayers around this joint.

[Activated Alpha]

From someone who takes care of ER/ICU patients for a living, what I have read is great news. Hopefully we continue to hear great news once he is fully weaned off sedation. Prayers up for 34

[Liverpooldawg]

Nah, tell him that "TUSK said 'Saban > Miles'...."

That's better than a crash cart.....

Nah, tell him we just re-hired Stans.

OU has some great leaders on their team.

[PMDawg]

Hope to see you on here soon Coach34. Been praying for you.

[Cooterpoot]

Very cool. Surprised the coach hasn?t been fired yet for talking to these ladies about Christ.

The coach wasn't a Christian a few years ago but her heart was changed and now she shared it with everyone. There's an interview with her somewhere where she talks about it. She was crying talking about it. I hate OK softball because they're the Alabama of softball, but I respect the way she does things. And our softball coach played for her.

[ZedFedder]

In regards to the OU ladies, you aren?t about to fire a coach who has won 60 something games in a row.

Keep fighting, Coach34!

[Brahmabull]

Update - Thursday June 8


Big day today. Decision has been made to try to extubate this afternoon at some point. Taking the vent tube out is going to be major to determine where and how he is in relation to blood pressure, oxygen levels, heart rate and how he handles not having a machine doing work for him. Also organ function and where we are there. Outside of kidneys needing help things seem to be in a good place right now. All this points to the decision to remove the vent tube.

He is literally fighting as he tried last night to get the tube out and was “hulking” which is a term used in icu for basically highly agitated and fighting. This is a good sign. It does cause them to have to add more sedation but it also shows how close we are to being able to get the tube out. Slow and steady progress wins this race.

Last night he also opened his eyes 3 times to a command from a close friend so we know he is there and he’s trying to fight thru the fog to find us.

Keep progressing.

[Bdawg]

Great news. Prayers, prayers, and more prayers

[State82]

The Good Lord keeps doing what He does!

[Saltydog]

Thanks for the updates Brahma. Continued prayers for Coach and those taking care of him both personally and professionally.

[InTheIttaBenaHotSun]

Appreciate the update...gave me goosebumps. Keep fighting Coach!

[TrapGame]

34's one onery sum bitch. He ain't going out like this. Keep fighting 34.

[Dawgface]

This is remarkable. I hope this afternoon goes well for him. Prayers

I’ll give the full update when I get it, but the tube is out and he’s back!!

Praying for you coach34. I don't know him, but I've ask him a few question's before on here and he answered me right back, and I do enjoy reading his posts. A good man. Gods speed my friend.

[basedog]

Good news and great to hear!

[KOdawg1]

Can't wait for C34's first post coming back from this.

What amazing news. Praise the Lord!

[WSOPdawg]

Man, this is awesome. C'mon Coach, keep fighting, man, keep fighting.

[confucius say]

Boom! Praise Jesus. Literally. I hope all who prayed will give thanks.

[Activated Alpha]

That is awesome to hear. I wonder if he had a saddlebag PE that caused all this. Glad he got expedient care and hope and pray for no neuro deficits

[RiverCityDawg]

Wow, praise Jesus.

[sixpackspeak]

[CaptainObvious]

Great news about 34! I know prayers have been answered.

[klong-dog]

I’ll give the full update when I get it, but the tube is out and he’s back!!

Heck yeah! Awesome!

[parabrave]

Great news.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Awesome news. Been thinking about him literally since I learned about his situation.

I don?t know him personally, but I have read his post since maybe around 2003 or so. Crazy how much C34 has been in my thoughts since this all went down. Goes to show you, even though you haven?t met someone doesn?t mean they are not important to your day to day. Even if most of his post pissed me off time and again. Regardless, I keep longing in and clicking on his post. Because we are maroon.

[bulldawg28]

God is great!!!!

[mparkerfd20]

I don't think I've prayed as hard for someone I hadn't met before in my life. Praise the Lord for answered prayers!

[ArrowDawg]

Give 'em hell, Coach34! Great news today!

Got busy yesterday afternoon and evening so didn't get a chance to update. ISID was going to update but he had something come up. Basically, they took the tube out yesterday and Coach was talking even though he was very medicated. In typical C34 fashion, one his first questions - "WTF happened?"

I think ISID will have an update later this morning.

Tell him he's been in a coma and it's now mid January 2024 and MSU just won their first natty in football last night in 5OT's. Game of the century.

[Brahmabull]

Update from ISID this Friday morning


Things are progressing as they should. Heart and lungs in good shape. Getting further and further from sedation helps with his normal functioning. Breathing on his own now with just a nasal tube which will probably come out today.

Communication is almost normal at this point which is a great sign. There seem to be no neurological deficits (outside of the ones he came in with lol..). Still a little sluggish but he had so many drugs in his system since Saturday and the tube isn’t quite 24 hours removed so it’s to be expected and will improve.

Next step is to start getting stronger with some nutrition. Tolerated thru tube and hopefully moving to actual eating in the next 24-48 hours. Body needs nourishment to start getting stronger.

Kidneys are a concern due to coming around very slowly. Still too early to tell there.

All in all we are in great shape. Things are going as planned with no setbacks. The hope is he can start getting some nutrition, get stronger and get out of the ICU. That may take a week or 2 as it’s a slow process to get there along with everything else. We still have a long road ahead but at least now we are on the road and moving.

The updates like this will probably be coming fewer and farther between as we are in a slow progression pattern. But as things move over some milestones they will be updated.

Keep progressing.

Glory to God. I hope he is glorified through this and that Lee draws near to Him. What a testament to Him.

Answered prayers! Keeping Fighting Coach34.

Looking forward to seeing Coach34 rip our offensive game plans this fall!

He's on board with the offense

[Dawgface]

Anyone know where he was when his attack happened? It?s been said he is divorced so he must have been around someone or he would have died. Thank goodness someone was there to call 911. Glad he is doing so well now.

He had an issue that caused him to go to the hospital to get checked out. They kept him overnight to run some test and monitor. The next morning he said they wanted to run more test. That day while at the hospital is when things went downhill fast. So yes, he was fortunate that he was able and did go to hospital to get checked out before things got worse.

Is pretty apparent that God still has plans for him on this earth!

That's amazing. Thank the good Lord he was at the hospital already!

Side note, time for y'all close to him to talk to him about his health. I remember he said not too long ago he had to go to the hospital. We want him to stay around!

God is great. Only the Almighty himself could do such a thing. Answered prayers

If what was originally reported here is correct, this is a miraculous recovery, it truly is. Prayer works.

VERY fortunate indeed. It still remains that it has been reported that he coded 4 times for 10 minutes each. That he has recovered as he evidently has is truly a miracle. He is one tough SOB, and he has been blessed beyond belief!

[Maroonthirteen]

Good news. I hope he is still doing well.

[Brahmabull]

Not much today. Just progressing. Vision becoming clearer as day went. Motor skills waking up. Talking much better. Kidneys still pretty concerning. ISID gonna pop in on him in the am.

[TUSK]

I took C34 and laid the points.... He good.

[EdwardDrayton]

Can't wait for him to get back and weigh in on popup ads.

[Commercecomet24]
