If you’d like to mail a letter to him for Bonnie to read, you can send it to: It’s between Maury and God right now, so please send prayers. His left leg is unable to move, although whether there was perhaps an issue with damage to the repair with his previous spinal surgery with his fall, that remains to be known.Īt this point things seem unchanged for the most part. He is able to squeeze with his right hand and move his right leg. With his inability to cough to clear it out, he needed to go back on the ventilator. He was able to breathe for about an hour, but was unable to cough. On Friday, April 13 another breath test was performed. (Maury’s other brother Norm and wife Mary were out of state at the time they heard the news.) Maury’s brother Gerry and wife Deb visited Thursday. An oncologist would meet with Maury and family should he make it through the bleed to determine the stage, course of treatment, and his wishes. The BAD news is Maury has extensive lymphoma, and so should he make it through the brain injury he will need to fight cancer after this. He couldn’t, so the ventilator and sedation will continue. They attempted a “breath test” where he was supposed to breathe on his own for 30 minutes. The doctor said that his vessels did not look extraordinary, which is GOOD.

On Thursday, April 12 at 6:44pm, an angioplasty of his brain was performed. His Grandson Jakob and niece Danielle also visited. Bonnie’s sister Jana and husband Danny visited. The nurse said to be prepared for an emotional rollercoaster. They were told making it through this was the first step. Maury was in surgery about 3 or 3:30pm and made it through surgery about 5:44pm. Shane arrived from Alexandria while Maury was in surgery. Another MRI showed his brain bleed had enlarged. When Brent and Bonnie arrived in Fargo, a nurse came out to discuss health directives before he went into surgery. Jennifer stayed behind to be home for the kids. He had an MRI that found a small brain bleed, so he was transported by ambulance about noon to the New Sanford Medical Center in Fargo, ND.īy the time Maury had gotten to Fargo, things had started to go downhill fast. Maury was coherent and talking at that time. His wife, Bonnie, son Brent and daughter-in-law Jennifer, with the help of a neighbor Paul getting him into the suburban, rushed him to the hospital in Fergus Falls. Maury Floden slipped on a patch of ice outside his family home and hit his head.
