Update on Gabe’s Progress 11/11

Gabe had a good night Tuesday. This morning they removed his breathing tube, neck brace and heart monitor. Just before noon, they took off his oxygen mask. They also stopped his pain medication and put him on morphine self-administered. He’s fully conscious now and wanting to talk. Doctors are discouraging talking so we don’t know any new information about the incident yet.

Lots of friends and family here visiting. We plan to provide a place on this website for contributions and volunteers soon. Brooke’s aunt Andrea is setting up a fund at Chase Bank, and we will have a paypal account linked for donations directly from the site. We will also set up a calendar for people that would like to volunteer their time or provide food when Gabe is back home, as well as a ‘wish list’ for particular items or services they need help with.

If you have some great pictures of Gabe, please email them to us at gabejordan.org@gmail.com for a gallery page we would like to post.

Thanks for the generous outpouring of support and love from all of our friends and family that have gotten in touch. Thanks also to the great staff at Wishard Hospital, the members of the Indianapolis Police Department, and Billy Roberts and the other neighbors that helped Gabe Sunday night.

This site is being put together as a place for everyone to check on Gabe’s progress and recovery. We will be posting regular updates, pictures, videos and other information soon. A fund will be set up in the next few days to help Gabe and Brooke with upcoming expenses. Feel free to leave public messages here by clicking Leave a Comment above each post.
