As most of you know, Bobby has been in ICU for the past week. Last Sunday, when Mom came home from church, Bobby was on the couch coughing up blood. She drove him to Great River Medical Center in Blytheville and they told her that he had developed pneumonia. They put him in ICU that night, and on Monday afternoon, they moved him to a regular room. Later that night, his oxygen levels pretty much bottomed out, so they moved him to ICU again. On Tuesday morning, they moved him to St. Bernards in Jonesboro.
We all went over and we were all pretty upset. They put him on oxygen and it was really hard seeing him lay there like that. The force of the oxygen was causing his body to sort of jerk and it was a very scary sight. Things were the same for the next couple of days. They were giving him three different kinds of antibiotics for the three different types of pneumonia. On Sunday afternoon, Bobby coded. They then put him on life support and he is still on it. As of this afternoon, he is stable. They have sedated him, because when he wakes up, he tries to remove the tubes and gets upset. As much as we would love for him to set up and talk to us, we know that he is better off being sedated. That way he can get all the rest he needs and will hopefully get moved to a private room out of the ICU.
We have had so many visitors this week. Thanks so much for the prayers, visits, and phone calls. I hope that this blog will make it easier for everyone to keep in touch with us! I also want him to see just how much everyone loves him and I am looking forward to him reading your comments!
Please continue to pray for Bobby.
Thanks so much!

Mandi I will be the first to say I am glad you started this blog. Yes it will be fun for Bob to see when he fully recovers just how many people really care and are hoping and praying for his recovery. It is sad this day and time, so many people have gotten so busy in life that we really don't take time to appreciate what we have until something like this happens. I know I do not know Bobby that well, I know he is a good man, because to many of the people I love very much, love him very much SO HE HAS TO BE A GOOD GUY!
I know when Mandi May called me the other day and was so upset she could not even talk, it broke my heart. I was so worried for her, SethyPoo, Danny, Chas,and Hope. After being there Monday and seeing how he went from his death bed about 6am to responding to Hopes request to squeeze her hand, his vitals were improving and his Oxygen levels rising, by noon. I left the hospital with a warm, fuzzy sort of feeling, knowing Bobby is going to be just fine. After all he has a whole BUNCH of COSTNER'S praying for him!!!
Get well and come home soon Bobby so you can attend Seth and Brittany's Wedding, and take them camping for the honeymoon!!!! lol...
We love and miss you Bobby. We are praying for you to get better and come home. Love, Charles, Melissa, and Jenni Wilbanks
