Alley,
Thank you for keeping us posted on both Davy and now your progress - typing with one hand can be a real challenge. I received your Thank you PM and wanted to tell you that it was so nice of you and I appreciated your kind words. We are still praying for you both. You have had a rough year, yet all of the trials seem to make you even stronger.
Thinking of you daily,
Dana

You've got yourself a strong man, Alley! Even through your pain, you have to take this as a sign that he is STRONG!!
Now that we know how strong he is, maybe you can ask the doctor to change the medication order slightly so that he gets it a half hour early, or so. We don't want a repeat of you getting hurt!
As for the college, I suspect that you won't have any problem with them excusing him from this semester. They would not want to run the risk of the negative publicity if they denied a hospitalized student a leave of absence.
May you and your family be blessed...We're all praying for you!

I've been thinking and worrying about you and Davy and your family -- I can't believe you're staying so strong! Thanks for the pictures -- it really does make it more real. I hope this is a better day for you...
Gosh, I guess you really took one for the team this time. He better watch out when you get that cast.
I hope that they try to keep him sedated better, that takes a lot out of both of you with a fight like that everytime. Hang in there.
Yikes! I type one-handed anyway, since I type Columbus-style (find a key and land on it).
Can't imagine trying to type one-handed due to a cast!!
Take of yourself. We can't say that enough. This is just the first part of the battle, you have to be strong for his recovery, too!!
Your F-I-L sounds like a real sweetheart! Glad you have him supporting you through this.

Alley...thank you for sharing pics of handsome Davy. His college might even give a partial refund in his situation. It wouldn't hurt to ask for one. Most likely, the school will give Davy a "WP" on his academic record--keep copies of the Dr's excuses for Davy to show his future prospective employer if there's any question about a gap in his education. I doubt it will be questioned, but he will have those just in case.
So sorry about your hand--ouch!

I don't know how far you've gotten with the college stuff, but here's my advice, for what it's worth. I've dealt with a few universities in my day and they can be tedious bureaucracies, but Davy should have every right to be excused for this semester. Smaller schools can be easier to deal with. I don't know about Davy's college's policy or terminology, but he would want something like a retroactive withdraw. That means that his withdrawing from classes this far into the semester will not reflect on his GPA or whatever metric the college uses to track a students overall performance.
In other words, you should ask the college if they could excuse him from classes without adversely affecting his academic record. Otherwise, the college might treat him later as though he simply bailed out a semester. Also, if your costs were out-of-pocket, then you might want to ask them about a prorated tuition refund. If the semester was financed through a scholarship or loan, then you will need to contact the organization behind that. For a student loan, you will need to ask them to not start asking for repayment yet.
As for dealing with the college, bear in mind that not every clerk knows all the rules, only enough to get them through the day... and many of them are just college kids. I would suggest finding someone, knowledgeable and sympathetic in the registrar, or perhaps one of Davy's professors, to help you out, if things get sticky or confusing. Some of the larger universities have some kind of student advocacy on campus, which should be a good resource. Also, this is another situation where you need to effect as much sympathy as you can, don't be confrontational, but be persistent with your case. I'd recommend starting with the phone. It's not as effective as face-to-face, but a lot easier in the beginning. Otherwise, you'll could end up running door to door all over campus.
I continue to pray for Davy's improvement and for the well being of his wife and family. God's speed.
