THE RUN DOWN...Basically now we are at a waiting point, where Paul is being let off of the "ativan" and "diprovan" and a decrease in morphine. The reason for this is because the doctors want an accurate examination of Paul's current position in regards to his injuries, and his brain condition. Paul was rated at a 3 yesterday, out of 15 in the comatose test. What this literally translates to is that he was awake enough to not give a response to the tests that he was "asked" to perform, i.e. he is asleep and naturally couldn't say anything, plus there is a tube down his throat. He responds to pressure on his right side, his right eye is also responsive, and he is moving all of his limbs, but his left side, the impact side, is still unresponsive to command driven tests.
Okay...We are not out of the woods yet. Paul's MRI results showed a significant range of damage that the original CAT scan did not reveal. Paul's skull is utterly crushed and is need of repair. The unfortunate news is that the "dura" i.e. the layer that lies between the skin and muscle is cracked in several places leaving the possibility of diseases to enter...The disease that the doctor's suggested was the main one, menigitis. What is more is the lung issue that really has not been addressed until now. The extent of the damage done to the lung is such that Paul has a high probability of Pneumonia, which would be hard for Paul to combat in his weakened condition. The possibilities for more blood clotting has not gone away yet, and so we ask that everyone please pray for Paul, that our Mother Mary watch over him and that God's will be accepted with a strong and humble heart.
We are hanging in there ready to take on any misfortune that comes our way. We each hold Paul in a special place in our heart, and so each of us have been hurt with this tragic news. I can't pretend that just because you are not in the family, you are not suffering equally as any one of us. We all have helped pick up our own cross, and are carrying it with equal suffering.
On behalf of the Fidero family, I must thank each person who has at any point and time said any prayer or taken time for Paul. God Bless you all, I love you each for what you do, and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
May the Holy Spirit descend upon you and remain with you forever,
James Fidero

I trust that God has a very special plan for these past few days, and already we see so many graces poured out here at Ave Maria, and many are constantly praying for God to work wonders with your life Paul. You are in the hands of the living God, and know that we at Ave Maria will continue to pray for your healing and improvement.
In Christ,
Tim Vail

God's Help Is Near
Faith means being sure of the things we hope for and knowing that something is real even if we do not see it. Hebrews 11:1
Faith is the belief that God is real and that God is good...It is a choice to believe that the one who made it all hasn't left it all and that he still sends light into the shadows and responds to gestures of faith...
Faith is the belief that God will do what is right.
God says that the more hopeless your circumstances, the more likely, your salvation. The greater your cares, the more genuine your prayers. The darker the room, the greater the need for light.
God's help is near and always available, but it is only given to those who seek.
Paul, I have faith that will do what is right.
God Bless You and your family.
Thinking about you Paul...
Paul you and your family are in my prayers. I am spreading the word in Iowa, you can never have enough people praying for you. God Bless!

This is from his Boss man ..... Paul from the top to the bottom of our hearts, every one of us from DTSI hope and pray that God in His Holy way blesses you with His grace and healing. I have grown to appreciate you and your family in a very special way that words cannot describe, only Christ's children can understand.
We Love you,
Richard
Paul, your miracle consists in so much more than your recovery, it already has moved the hearts of so many people to a deeper faith in God. You are in my prayers here in Austria and you have many people in upstate NY praying for you as well!
This scripture passage comes to mind when I think of what you and your family have gone through, it is beautifully quoted in regard to human suffering and the dignity of life in the encyclical, Evangelium Vitae:
"I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and in my flesh I complete what is lacking in Christ's afflictions for the sake of his Body, that is, the Church" (Col 1:24)
God's graces be with you Paul!
Love in Christ,
Marissa
to Paul, our other son,
we never told you that we love you, but we do, we never told you that you're apart of our family, but you are. You have touched our lives and made them better and that we are thankful for. We pray every minute of the day for you.
Love
Joe&Lisa
Bonnie& Brendan
May you recover completely. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
God Bless You, Paul!
Prayers are coming in for you and your family from Chaparral High School in California. Thank you for the updates.
I'm so glad that Paul is doing better. Well, you know I'm not really religious, but my mom is and she's praying for you. I know after all this you'll still be able to continue doing what you love, you're strong enough and passionate enough to succeed. I'm here for you. Best wishes.
To the Fidero family, you all make an amazing family, and with your love Paul will be able to make it through this.
"To dream anything that you want to dream. That's the beauty of the human mind. To do anything that you want to do. That is the strength of the human will. To trust yourself to test your limits. That is the courage to succeed." - Bernard Edmonds
Paul has prayers coming from people that dont even know him. I thank God for such an amazing network of Christian friends. We are praying.
James, we are praying to Padre Pio to intercede for your brother and also to our Holy Mother (Ave Maria!) to care for one of her very own... Have faith that God's will is perfect, unseemingly so at times, but perfect none the less.
We love you from Tampa!
Mrs. Jeffries and family
