Coach Bramlett

Posted by Betty ‘64 on December 28, 2018, 9:24 am

Coach & Nancy’s daughter, Pam O’Bryan, asked for unspoken prayers yesterday on Facebook. This is what she posted this morning.

My Daddy passed out 2 different times yesterday = about 40 minutes apart & hit his head both times. The 2nd time he hit he did not respond, so my Mother called 911 & the ambulance came & took him to the hospital. My grown niece who is a nurse came when she got off from work and stayed until midnight. They finally got in a room about 10:30 p.m. He had tests run today. He may have been retaining fluids, so they checked his liver and pancreas + other readings of blood work. He was very lucky NOT to have damaged his brain on both falls + Mother put oxygen on him immediately upon waiting for the ambulance to respond/arrive. He goes home tomorrow.

Per my Mother just now. PLZ keep 🙏praying... hoping nothing has developed on his brain from the fall ~ he's had a queasy stomach, too.

Looks like he will be here another night. Has had 2 bad headaches and when they tried to do BP sitting up he could not sit up and fell back on the bed because of dizziness.

Doctor has just ordered another CAT Scan.

Pam’s latest update:’

Still canNOT walk... due to concussion from both falls = way too dizzy to do so + it all came on b/c of the lack of refill medication from heart clinic that he takes N conjunction with something else. They R still there & now waiting... to hear from the 2nd CAT Scan. Ur 🙏prayers... R greatly appreciated.

Thanks for passing this message along, Betty. Maybe this can be explained by a medication issue. Concussion is not good but hopefully something that will heal with time.

This was the post for 12/30/18:

UPDATE: THNX for caring❗️ 💙Daddy is still N the 🏥hospital & gonna have an MRI tomorrow + 👨🏻‍⚕️neurologist ordered an 💉IV for nausea & head-ache earlier today. 💗Mother finally got to go 🏡home & get a 🛀bath/🚿shower + fresh 👚clothes and 🐾love on their aging... (spoiled) 🐶dog. Daddy is experiencing... some anxiety & pbly needs a change of scenery ~ due to feeling confined + we R very thankful for his kind & patient nurses. PLZ 🙏PRAY for my 💗Mother to stay well & continue... to hv strength to carry on, since he's Not the best patient sometimes. ✝️GOD BLESS HIM/THEM❣️ •I will B going to assist once they get home. Had already planD a trip for early N Jan. One son just had 2 procedures done yesterday & another son is N from outta State + we got to 👁C & visit w/our other son, too.

Hopefully, the anti-dizzy 💊med(s) will click in ASAP & begin working @ full capacity. He should have NEVER been without it❗️ He’s very fortunate to B alive after those 2 different falls about 40 minutes apart with no warning... & especially after being non-responsive on the 2nd one‼️

MONDAY = 12-31-18
UPDATE: per Mother as of now

We are still in the hospital. May get to go home if Doctors approve. That is the heart & neurology doctors. We have not seen them today & understand neurologist wants to run... some more tests. Don't know if those can be made while in hospital or make appointments. Will have Home Health 3 times a week.

MONDAY; December 31, 2018 evening UPDATE per Mother ~ guess it was her way of letting me know they had been released from the hospital.

I couldn’t get the text messages to copy.

Nancy said they were going home if they could find someone to take them

Pam said she thought it was dangerous since he is still dizzy and can’t walk (I certainly agree with that.). Pam also said they had not gotten the results from the MRI or the second CAT SCAN.

Talked to Nancy yesterday and today. He is feeling better, but has some trouble with his memory probably due to the concussion. He gave Bubba his truck yesterday which, as we who deal with elderly parents and giving up driving, was wonderful. He and I had a conversation about it when he was in the hospital. They went to their primary physician today and they think the hernia that he has had for years might be bothering him but don't recommend surgery. He said as long as he know why he has the pain he can deal with it. Thank you all for your prayers and concerns for him and Nancy. They are so very special to me, and I know to all of you. They have several doctor appointments next week and I know Pam is coming some time soon to stay a week to help Nancy. Oh, and please pray for Bubba as he begins his new job as District Attorney for Rankin and Madison Counties. I am so proud that Nancy and Kenneth can witness this adventure for him and I am proud that the little boy who went everywhere with me is now such an outstanding young man. I will try to keep you posted, as I know Betty will. Happy New Year to you all.
