Update on Cigarguy

Right now, he is still sedated, but he is starting to wake up some. He is in a very sleepy and confused state at the moment. They are going to leave him like this for about another hour, and our Buddy and I are both staying right by his side, talking to him over and over, telling him where he is, what happened, and all that he has been through. He is doing his best to repeat it back, but he is very hard to understand right now, and he keeps drifting off to sleep every few minutes. He is not restrained at this point, but they do have them on the bed just in case they are needed.

We are praying he gets better. We all are. He is a strong guy and he will pull through it.
But please, please take care of yourself as well. It is a hard place to be, we don't want you to collapse at the end of everything. Jeremy wouldn't want that. He always told us how worried he got when you had panic attacks after a crisis (even tho he'd always be proud of how strong you'd be managing all the stress during the heat of the moment).
So please, please, be kind to yourself, eat well and rest well. He will come through it, he has all our prayers and your help as well.

@AoNoSora Thank you. At this point, my heart and mind are completely on getting him better. I’ll deal with myself later — right now, he is what matters most.

@Cigarguys
I'm just afraid you will have a panic attack afterwards 😢 I know you are a very strong man and we respect you so much.
We are praying for all of you dear Joel. 🙏🏼
