Bill is critical and unstable.

Unfortunately, for the past two days Bill's blood pressure has not been cooperating. Currently, he is on a different medicine to increase his BP. So far, he has received 4 units of blood to help with blood pressure issues.

He is not breathing on his own and continues to be in a drug-induced coma. He still can not communicate with us, but we are certainly giving him a piece of our minds to keep on fighting!

Feeding was a little unstable for the past two days, but for now he is back on track.

He has a "Bear Hug" blanket on him because his body temperature is too low. The blanket gives him more heat - we all want one!!

  1. Hang in there Bill. I need you to teach me some more about carpentry. I was saddened to hear of your accident and pray for you regularly. I know you'll be bossing people around in no time. Bud

I am forever indebted to you for your love and unconditonal support for Marty, Corey Ryan and I, and Mom. I hope you can feel the spirit of our love. It is our turn to be at your doorstep along with everyone else who is praying for you to pull thru. Keep up the fight you stubborn irishman, the blueberries are awaiting and you owe us a dinner. Love the Martovichs

  4. Dear Uncle Blueberry, I hope you are feeling better. I am sure Aunt Dawn wants you back at home. Dad and I are riding in the MS150 next weekend and will be thinking of you when we ride. I hope you can come to Nicatous in the fall to help Dad catch some fish:-)
    I love you very much!
