Summary

On the evening of Tuesday, Septmeber 27, 2011 Devin Adams was admitted to Pomona Valley hospital with shortness of breath. Upon arrival, doctors and nurses accessed his condition and began to run a series of tests. It was concluded that he had a fractured skull, severe swelling and bleeding in his brain.

In order to effectively treat Devin, a team was sent from Loma Linda Children's Hospital to stabilize and transport him. He arrived at Loma Linda Children's hospital late Tuesday evening where he has had numerous CT scans and test completed. He is currently on a ventilator and being sedated so the doctors can monitor his progress and complete any necessary procedures.

Doctors have been able to successfully complete two surgical procedures to release pressure within his brain and to alleviate a build up of brain fluid. There are currently two tubes in his brain, one to continually drain the brain fliud and the other to monitor the amount of oxygen in his brain. Both procedures are continuing to remain successful. The bleeding within his brain has diminished and the primary concern is the swelling. We will continue to update you as we find out more progress.

Thank you and God bless you all.
