I just spoke with Jeff's dad ...
Jeff is still in an induced coma and the doctors have no plans of bringing him out of this anytime soon. The want him to stay a still as possible to help in reducing the swelling of the brian. The have also removed a section of his skull to relieve the pressure.
He snapped a femur and they told his Dad that they wouldn't operate on that until they were satisfied with his brain swelling ... well they operated on the femur just the other day, so his Dad is taking that as a good sign.
As far as brain injury ... they have done all the scans, MRIs, etc but they really won't know the extent of any brain damage until Jeff is out of the coma and awake. According to his Dad, the doctors have told him that he is healing, in a general extent, very fast which his Dad is taking as another good sign. His Dad said ... "He is a tough and strong boy ... he will pull out of this".
I told them both of the outpouring of well wishes and prayers from the AH community and they were completely blown away. They never realized how many "virtual" friends that Jeff has.
His Dad gave me his email address and told me that I could also call them anytime to check on Jeff's progress ... which I will and post it here.
