Help Officer (Jeff) Cobb get back to work!
Late Saturday (2/27) night Jeff’s parents arrived home to find him very disoriented, confused, and he complained of a severe headache. They took him to the Kadlec ER where he received a CT scan revealing that he had an aneurysm that had burst.
The neurosurgeon put in a drain to help relieve some of the pressure in his brain prior to them transferring him by LifeFlight to Sacred Heart ICU.
There he underwent surgery to clip the aneurysm. Surgery went well and Jeff was following the nurse’s commands the next morning.
They next 10 days will be very crucial in his recovery! They planned on weaning him off of the sedation enough to extubate (remove the breathing tube) him over the next 2 days. BUT, Jeff caught the nurse with her back turned and pulled the tube out himself (today, 3/1).
He is now is soft restraints and re sedated to let his brain heal and make sure he doesn’t pull out anymore lines or drains!!
The Cobb family has given more to our community, and many other communities, for as many years as we can remember. They serve selflessly and are the first to lend a helping hand.
It is our turn to help them. Jeff will be out of work for awhile and the hospital bills will be endless!
Please keep Jeff and his family in your thoughts and prayers!
We will try to keep you updated here!
