Falling apart
23 01 2009This is Jimison’s wife, Sarah. I haven’t posted here since we first launched this site. In light of events that unfolded this week, I felt it was prudent to provide a short update.
As you’ll read from Jimison’s post at the beginning of this week, he had the second of four scheduled epidurals on Monday. Apparently they injected him twice and though he felt fine on Monday afternoon, by Tuesday morning Jimison was not feeling quite right and had become very emotional. After a somewhat public meltdown on Facebook, I began to fear for Jimison’s well being. He had quickly become detached and was pushing everyone away. I sent messages through our good friend, J.R., to the Chain of Command at the WTU and contacted the Family Support group at Fort Knox and informed them of my concern.
On Wednesday, they decided to move Jimison to a behavioral health facility. Jimison’s case manager called me today to let me know she is working hard to make sure that they are giving him the help he needs right now. She didn’t have much else to report at this point. I do trust this case manager, she promised to fight for Jimison to get the right pain management options made available and to help move his med board forward as swiftly as possible. I haven’t met this woman, but something in her voice told me I could trust her. I need to trust someone.
Please join me and pray for Jimison. He needs our love and support now more than ever.
