UPDATE:
Michael Badnarik's Health


I just got off the phone with Michael Badnarik's Mother, Elaine. She informed me that his condition seems to have "backslid". They were were hoping that he would have been released on Wednesday to his Mother's care in Indiana but his condition is still critical.

Michael came out of his unconscious state, unbound his wrists some how, and removed the breathing tube from his throat. His mother remarked that when Michael came to he asked to be released. He doesn't understand how serious his situation is.

The hospital had to sedate him again to put the breathing tube back in because he is having trouble breathing.

They cannot find the reason for his breathing problem... so he is currently sedated to ease the pressure on his lungs and heart.

His heart is still in atrial fibrillation and had to be hit with the AED defibrillator to reset its rhythm.

He will be sedated until his condition can be stabilized...

He is still at Gunderson Lutheran Hospital CCU in Lacrosse, WI. Please do not call or visit the hospital, only family is allowed.

Please keep him and his family in your prayers.

This doesn't sound good for him. Keep him in your prayers and/or thoughts.

I wonder why they can't figure out what is wrong with him. :confused:

Did they do toxicology screens on him? WTF?

I sure hope he pulls through.

other).................


Hi All,
Michael is doing better. The doctors did the cardiovert today
and his heart has good rhythm. The breathing tube was removed,
but had to be reinserted. He told me that he felt like he was
smothering. He was getting plenty of oxygen but his vocal cords
and throat are swollen and it is very difficult for him to
breath. He became very agitated so, to make him more
comfortable,
he was sedated and the tube inserted. His heart is in relatively
good condition, considering the severity of his heart attack. It
will be a few more days before they try to remove the tube
again.


His best friend, Alan Teeple, got here yesterday. His parents
and brother are coming tomorrow and staying a couple of days.
His brother has to go to work, so they will go back to Hammond
and then return to, hopefully, take him home. I have to go home
by the 4th, but Alan will stay.


He is receiving the cards and e-mails but, as before, please
don't call the hospital, as they will not give out any
information. I'm doing my best to try to keep everyone informed.
Your cards and e-mails, thoughts and prayers are greatly
appreciated. Thank you.
Lynne

I'm guessing they are trying to stabilize him & get him off the vent before they perform a bypass?
