This post is dedicated to the one and only, Rob THE McLendon, who is fighting for his life right now! This iron man, world traveler, lover of life, and best friend needs our support... Please give him your thoughts, your prayers, your energy, and all your good vibrations in whatever way that you do. I know he can feel our presence and our love as he pushes through the greatest journey yet. Rob was recently forced into oncoming traffic while riding a moped on the Isle of Ibiza off of the coast of Spain. He's in critical condition and we are keeping up with his progress on an awesome website, the caring bridge (search robmclendon). I have complete faith that Rob will win this race... but he needs us! Thank you, thank you, thank you- Spread the word! And don't for a second take this beautiful, wild life for granted. Live today for Rob!!
PS. Just got this stellar update from Jackson, Rob's brother via the caring bridge- Very encouraging! Pearly whites, no paralysis, gently shaven, oh my! Read on...
Today was a stable day for Rob.
We met with the doctor as usual after our 1:00 PM appointment, and she confirmed that after review, the fractures he had in his vertebrae were not indicative of paralysis. While we did believe this was the case, it was nonetheless soothing to hear out loud.
We had further discussion of the potential tracheotomy, and if events continue along their expected path, the operation will occur early next week. Once again this is a practical measure, and it would reduce the likelihood of bacterial infection.
On the cosmetic side, Rob had his teeth brushed, and his pearly whites are visible for all to see. He also had a gentle shave, and is quite handsome even from my point of view.
Mom and I are holding up well, and the encouragement we have received from all of you has been enormously helpful in maintaining our spirit. Each and every email and comment is appreciated.
Thank you, and we will update again soon.
Mom wanted to add that her email is smclendon7@gmail.com and that she enjoys reading each message sent to her.
