Thank you all for the support thus far. It means the world to us truly. However, if you notice that the fundraiser has changed quite a bit, it is because Jose Sanchez has unfortunately passed. May he rest in peace and with his loved ones. We wish to focus on giving him the funeral rites he wanted and supporting our family in these trying times. Once again, thank you for all your support and please share this story.

Hello,

Thank you all for the shares, the donations, and for keeping up with my father's story. It truly means the world to us. His progress has remained slow, but we are steadfast in our belief that he'll recover, especially with the help of the patient and caring team at UC Davis. Truly, we can not thank them enough for helping keep my father's condition stable. Please take care of yourselves and be careful out there. Have a good night and thank you all again.

Sorry it has been so long since the last update. I would like to assure you all that my father remains stable though unfortunately still in critical condition and sick in the ICU. For the first few days after the twelfth, my father had made several steps showing improvement including no longer needing nitrous oxide, having a relatively successful sedative holiday for two days (though he remained unconscious throughout), and overall stable vitals. His progress has slowed down yesterday, a trend that continues forward today. But both the medical team and we are remaining optimistic that he is still on the path to recovery. As always, we are so grateful to those who have shared and donated. I hope for everyone to have a wonderful day.

My father continues in the SICU, but watched over by caring and patient medical staff. He remains sedated and breathing via ventilator but now they know how to keep his oxygenation rate up and hopefully provide grounds for improvement of his condition. Thank you all so much for sharing and donating. The rest of this post will be a Spanish summary of what has happened so far.

Mi padre, Jose Franklin Sanchez, fue una víctima de un conductor borracho que iba 90 millas por hora. Su columna tenía varias vértebras fracturadas, su aorta estuvo inflamada, trece costillas quebradas, sangrado en la cabeza, su pie derecho no ha respondido, y sigue sedado por la condición de sus pulmones que incluye una infección fuerte y aire entre los pulmones y las costillas. Sus donaciones serían usado para que cuando mi padre se despierte no se preocupe en los costos que tenemos, solo a enfocar en su rehabilitación. Gracias por su tiempo y muchas gracias a ellos que han compartido este sitio de web y a ellos que han donado.
