Nics update

For those who haven't heard the story, Nic was involved in an accident yesterday. Here is the link to KSL.  http://www.ksl.com/index.php?sid=24143228&nid=148&title=2-hospitalized-in-north-salt-lake-dump-truck-crash
He was momentarily pinned between the dump truck and his work truck. He had to have some staples in his elbow and broke his pelvis in 2 places.  We are currently getting more testing today as he is experiencing numbness and tingling around his tail bone. They are suspecting nerve damage. I will update later when I have more info.

Update #2
Nic was transported to Mckay-Dee, he will be seeing Dr. Blake Welling, Neurology Surgeon. The tests at Davis showed that he has bruising, bleeding and swelling at the bottom of the spine. We will find out if surgery is necessary, or just keep an eye on the bleeding and swelling. He will be here for a few days.

Update #3
Doctor say it looks like surgery is not necessary at this time. They are going to compare images of Nic's spine before the accident and after. The before images will be from cancer follow ups.  Nic has a spinal hemorrhage. This is causing temporary nerve damage. He is going to have an additional MRI with contrast to get a better picture. The Doctor is ordering a Lumbar brace and Nic will start on physical therapy tomorrow. He is also having an Orthopedist that specializes in the pelvis treat Nic. If all goes well with the latest MRI- Doctor suspects release will be with in 36 hours.
