My friend and fellow Peru partner sustained severe injuries in a long fall in Eldo last Sat. Please join me in sending good vibes , thoughts and prayers to Wayne and family for a complete and speedy recovery.
Details can be found here
http://www.mountainproject.com/v/climber-falls-in-eldorado-canyon/109332940
This is the latest from Tess:
"Wayne remains stable and has shown slight improvements that keep his doctors (and us, of course) optimistic. The doctors have told me that the best way to tell how Wayne is doing is not through any further imaging but by watching him during his neurological exams. During these exams they pinch him, yell at him, poke him etc. He is responds well to pain but does not respond to commands. He is opening his eyes quite a bit now. But he is not focusing on anything or anybody, no eye contact. He doesn't open his eyes on command or necessarily to anyone talking to him but he does open them in response to pain. It's more like his eye lids open but nobody is home yet. Each day his neurological exams are slightly better and that is encouraging to everyone. It's as if his state of consciousness is lightening slowly day by day. The doctors are hopeful he will wake up sometime within the next few days.
He had a tracheostomy yesterday and will have a feeding tube placed into his stomach today. There are no more tubes going into his mouth. His lungs are doing much better. They are starting to wean him off the ventilator and making him breathe on his own for a period of time each day. They will do surgery next week to repair his broken clavicle.
Some of you have asked how Kaiden is doing. He knows that his daddy fell and hit his head while climbing in Eldo, and that he has to sleep for a long while until he is better. He is not upset by this though he misses him a lot. He's been busy with big adventures over the past week ... wearing dresses and lipstick with the Murphy girls and having some good times with his pals Ivan and Corbin.
Thank you all so much for your love and support. It means the world to us right now.
Love,
Tessie

The climbing community is growing every year, but we remain tight and connected. Supertopians have traditionally been very supportive of our tribe. Thanks so much.
If any one can pull through, Wayne can. But I like to stack the deck.

Bump for Wayne, Tessie and Little Kaiden.
Wayne's injuries are severe and wide spread. He has still not come out of the near coma state that he has been in for over a week. He is breathing on his own a little at a time but he is not conscious at this time. The best news so far is that there does not appear to be any brainstem damage. Please understand that this is not a case of casting a few breaks or being in traction for a while, these folks are in for a really long haul. These are absolutely wonderful folks and they will need our love, understanding and support for quite a while. Do what you can and pass the word. Thank you. Peace.

Wayne and I shared a room at Casa Zarelas in Huaraz in 2008 - such a hardman and all-around good dude. His intelligence and work at the CDC are inspiring and his base accident is legendary. All was very inspiring to me as a 28 year old. I will never forget him and friends borrowing my laptop "so we can watch the dvd instructions that came with our hip splint".
Definitely sending good vibes and love to him and his family.

Ì've never met Wayne, but this story hits home, as all climbing accidents do.
I was about to give some $$, but what is the skinny on the website where we donate--Giveforward.com? I did a quick search, and it seems generally legit, but it asks for TOO much info. seems to me--full address, etc. in addition to credit card info. Do you all think it's safe to donate?
Climb safely, one and all. Maybe that runout above the micro nuts isn't worth it afterall.

up date info on waynes condition from Tess
"Hi,
There is not too much to report on Wayne's condition but I felt I should send something to you because I am sure you are wondering. His neuro exams have been very similar over the past few days. He is still moving his left leg a lot and often the fingers on his left hand and occasionally he lifts his right arm. He opens his eye lids but doesn't look around, just straight ahead, not focusing on anything. The doctors give commands like 'stick out your tongue', 'squeeze my hand', 'wiggle your toes' or 'look over here' but he does not follow them.
Wayne is breathing on his own now during the day. They put him back on supported breathing at night to give him a rest from working so hard. He continues to run a fever, not uncommon to those who've suffered a brain injury. He has a surgery scheduled this week to repair his clavicle and elbow.
His neurologist, Dr. Yarnell, says the brain swelling is still going down. As of today Wayne went off of the anti-seizure meds he started on day 1, which can cause drowsiness. He also started a 'wake up' drug this morning, to help induce some alertness. Dr. Yarnell is still hopeful that with time Wayne will come around. He suffered a very, very serious head injury which takes time to heal. How long is uncertain. The best thing we can give to Wayne is the quiet time and space necessary for his brain to heal. I know so many of you are anxious to visit him, but it is still not a great time to have visitors. I spoke with Dr. Yarnell today about visitors and he said he would allow one person to see him for a few minutes at a time, and only a couple people total each day. If it's important that you see Wayne soon, then please get in touch with me to figure out a good time. Otherwise I truly appreciate your patience.
There is so much love and energy flowing towards him right now, I am sure it is helping to support and heal him. Thank you so much. And please don't stop!
Much love,
Tessie

This is the link to the Wayne Crill fund site.
Please visit if only for the good vibes.
http://www.laurendiscipio.com/waynecrill
For all of Wayne's extreme accomplishments in both climbing and BASE he was never a crazy daredevil. Wayne is a PHD scientist and approaches his adventures very analytically.
But more than that Wayne is the kind of partner you really want. Chips up or down he was always by your side. One time after a brutally early start and sluggish plod into RMNP to climb Dreamweaver I was feeling ill at altitude. Wayne could have sent me back down and easily scampered up and down solo. But he didn't. No whine, no fuss just compassion for a partner. He un-begrudgingly tended to me on the hike back out. I have such respect for Wayne as a climber, partner, parent and friend. He is a man of great strength now facing the greatest challenge of his epic life. Keep him in your thoughts and support the Crill fund if you can.

I don't know Wayne well, but every time I've crossed paths with him in Eldo he was always interested in what I was climbing. . big smile on his face. His accomplishments are legendary here, yet he is the most down to earth guy. Being Eldo bros is something special.
Sending big, positive thoughts to you Wayne, from myself and my family. Can't wait to see your smiling face in Eldo again in the future.

Hi friends,
Quick update this eve-
Wayne's eyes are opening now and he is looking around. We are very excited about his progress. We are still uncertain what he is taking in and processing. His facial expressions are very limited but he notices voices, looks at people, and makes eye contact. He is still not following commands but hopefully soon. That is a requirement to get into Craig rehab. Please continue the good energy and prayers you are sending his way.
He is on two 'wake-up' drugs right now which he receives during the day. At night he is given Ambien to help him sleep. These drugs help regulate his sleep-wake cycle and help stimulate him during his waking time.
He has not had the clavicle/elbow surgery yet because of infection. This has actually been a blessing in disguise because it prolongs his time here in ICU where he receives the best care. We are still trying to find a loophole to get him into Craig rehab since his insurance (Kaiser P) does not work with Craig.
All for now. Thank you again for all your love, prayers and support.

Tess, Kaiden and family

Wayne, Aug. 27
Tessie DeLaney
Hello,
Wayne has moved out of ICU to an intermediate neuro-trauma unit at St. Anthony's where he will remain for days (or weeks -still undetermined) until he is ready for rehab. The swelling has gone down significantly on the left side of his head and his doctors are discussing replacing the bone flap in the near future. He has made slight improvements neurologically. He is often 'awake' during the day (with the assistance of drugs), he will make eye contact, follow movement around the room and gives out smiles here and there along with grimaces when he is uncomfortable. He is not considered awake enough by his doctors to go to rehab and he has yet to follow commands. His most recent MRI shows bruising on both sides of the brain. Of particular concern is bruising in an area that affects cognition and speech. We are still waiting and watching as the brain continues to heal and form new neural pathways. It will still take some time before we know how much permanent damage there may be.
He has had surgery on his clavicle and elbow and his bones are on their way to mending. He has been breathing on his own now for about a week, though he still has remnants of a lung infection and lots of congestion.
Visitors are welcomed now. We'd prefer not to overwhelm him with too many at once, so please get in touch if you want to come by. Afternoons are usually better since his doctors and other therapists are with him in the mornings.
Thank you again for all the love and support. This is going to be a long road, but I am so grateful that there IS a road. I have faith that Wayne's strength along with the prayers and positive energy you are sending him will go a long way towards helping him recover.
Love,
Tess
Please keep the energy flowing!!!!!
Thanks so much

Wednesday, Sept 3
Wayne is holding steady. He was going to have his bone flap replaced earlier this week, which Dr. Yarnell hoped would assist in improving neurological functioning. However, Wayne developed a bacterial infection in his intestines (C. difficile) which is a bit of a beast and highly contagious, though highly treatable with antibiotics. To see him now requires wearing a gown and gloves, and it's not recommended for children to be in his room at all until this clears. A healthy adult should have no problems but it can be dangerous if children or elderly people contract it. The antibiotic course is 10 days, then he should be able to have the bone flap put back in his head.
In the meantime Wayne is being transported today to a different facility, termed LTAC (long-term acute care). We chose an LTAC facility called Kindred of Denver. He will remain there until he is ready for rehab, with a brief return to St. Anthony's in a few weeks to have his bone flap replaced. Kindred will provide Wayne more attention with his recovery and assistance to prepare for rehab than he is able to get at St. Anthony's.
I am not familiar with policies at Kindred yet but I hope that you will be able to visit as often as you like. Wayne has been opening his eyes and giving out smiles to several friends who have caught him at the right time.
Much love to you all,
Tessie, Kaiden & all of Wayne's family in WA state

Keith, Lynn and I saw Wayne last Saturday. We were his first visitors during his Hi-Stim time.
He seemed asleep so walking in first I loudly said "Wayne! Hey Brother". To my amazement he opened both eyes wide and equally, turned his head directly at me and seemingly tracked me approaching him. Two other things I noticed. First he seems to be experiencing more and longer periods of REM sleep when he drifts off. I can't help but thing that is a good thing as REM sleep is like R&R for the brain. Second he would stretch out his left leg, toes pointed like a dancer, and when connecting with the footboard of his bed he would pull back a little, flex his foot and press his heel and sole into the footboard. This we witnessed several times and to me indicates something more than just reflex. All of this is encouraging but inconclusive. The replacement of the bone flap was a great step forward for Wayne and will hopefully help his brain to further heal.
Keep up the good vibes. The Tribe abides.

Well I hope he is doing well, but I am disappointed with the "charity" handling the money.
I never met Wayne but I asked Bill at the BCC to give them a check for $50 out of a larger donation that I had already given to the BCC, and I am contacted by this supposed "charity" telling me that I am not giving enough because they want some extra for themselves!
Parasites!
They should take the check and say thank you very much.

Hi all,
As you know, Wayne had his bone flap replaced a week ago. So far he seems to be doing well but the next few weeks will tell us much more. His visible neurological function is the best indicator of how he is doing and so far he seems to be about the same. I am told to expect a waxing and waning (Wayne always disliked this term) of function and not to be too alarmed at decreased function in the short term. Over the past several days I have seen him at his 'best' (eyes open for several hours, watching Kaiden and me, smiling on occasion) and also I have seen him at his 'sleepiest' and most inactive. The cat scan 5 days after surgery showed he had some areas of swollen ventricles which is not too alarming - it does mean he has more than normal CSF (cerebral spinal fluid) in his head. This fluid can depress neuro function and could ultimately lead to another surgery to add a shunt (to help alleviate pressure by draining CSF). Putting in a shunt increases risk of infection and risk of infecting and losing the bone flap, so doctors are trying to avoid this surgery if possible and give Wayne every opportunity to absorb the fluid himself over the next two weeks. He will be at Kindred LTAC (long-term acute care) for now and then go back to St. Anothony's for another cat scan and reevaluation by his neurologist and neurosurgeon at the end of this month.
Lots of friends have had positive visits with Wayne ...smiles, hand squeezes, etc. However, he still has yet to follow any commands from the doctors, which is what needs to happen for him to move to rehab. The hope has been that with the bone flap replacement he will start to make greater improvements and truly 'wake up' -this could be a matter of weeks or as long as 3 months.
We would love to have you visit if you are able to make it to Kindred Denver. Send me a note and I will let you know the best times to head down there. We are trying to spread out the love a bit so he can see friends on most days and not have a ton of folks all at the same time with no other visitors for the rest of the week.
Thanks for all your positive thoughts and loving messages. We love you guys and wouldn't be so strong without all your support!
Love,
Tess & Kaiden

Wayne update, Sept 30
Tessie DeLaney
Hi Everyone,
Sorry for such a long delay in giving a Wayne update. Wayne continues to make progress, albeit at a much slower pace than doctors would prefer. He continues to have up and down days - ones where he is more awake and responding to some commands and smiling at visitors, and other days when he sleeps most of the time. He has been able to go outside a few times with the assistance of a rehab aide.
It has been more than two weeks since his bone flap surgery and today a CT scan confirmed a similar amount of fluid in his head as was seen in the CT scan immediately after the bone flap surgery. These swollen ventricles are not an immediate threat but are possible a reason why Wayne is so sleepy and may not be progressing as quickly from a neurological perspective. A doctor from Craig rehab saw Wayne last week and called him a classic case of 'hydrocephalis' (water on the brain).
This situation could possibly be alleviated by placing a shunt in his head. A shunt is a serious consideration because it is permanent - for life and carries with it risks, for life. Wayne had an appointment yesterday with his neurosurgeon and neurologist to discuss this option back at St. Anthony's when Kaiser P. insurance pulled the plug at the last moment. (This is the apparent beginning of Wayne being pulled into the Kaiser system and away from the doctors he's had thus far, and potentially away from Craig rehab.)
Today Wayne was evaluated by a new neurosurgeon whose advice seemed appropriate. We will likely wait two weeks and have another CT scan to re-evaluate the situation. This surgeon wants to hold off on a potential shunt surgery until 1) Wayne's C.diff is completely eradicated from his intestines since part of the shunt drains into the abdomen and we want no infection risk and 2) the subdural hematoma (blood/bruising) that still exists in Wayne's brain, which is separate from the swollen ventricles, has a chance to shrink in size. The shunt surgery poses a risk of increasing this hematoma.
There is no way to know for sure if placing a shunt will improve Wayne's condition, though his doctors feel that he has nothing to lose at this point by trying it (except the risks of infection and longterm complications associated with shunts) and that it very likely could help him with improved neurological condition and also help his chances overall at rehab and with longterm recovery.
We will (hopefully) know more in the next few weeks.
For now, he will be at Kindred Denver at 19th and High for the next two weeks. Visitors are highly welcomed, especially Tues, Thurs, Sat and Sunday DAY and any evening. High stim times are generally 12 - 2 and 4 - 6. However, you can still come see him during low stim times, and if no one has been there during high stim times, then low stim can become high stim times. :) Wayne's sister Jen put a list of guidelines on the wall for being there with Wayne, but please feel free to interact with him as per her suggestions and stay for a few hours. He does really well when he feels the positive energy and love in the room.
Thanks to all of you who have written and called, who have brought us food and helped with Kaiden and Libby, and for all of your good wishes and prayers. You are all so dear to us/
Please keep sending your good energy and prayers to Wayne.
Much love,
Tessie

So Wayne has moved to the Pacific NW for 6 months of intensive therapy.
He seems to be making steady progress. It is still a long road ahead.
This was from his going away party.

Don't tell anyone but we let Dr Thrill have a few sips of brew.
It was his beer after all.

Good to hear Wayne is progressing. ABI is scary. I ran into quite a few people at rehab with this issue and I wouldn't wish it upon anyone.
Keep fighting Wayne! It's a long road but you got this!

Thanks Crankster he really is.
He was just awarded his first US patent for developing a vaccine for Denghe Fever.
He was a brilliant scientist.

Can you imagine to have worked for so many years and through so many obstacles only to be awarded your 1st patent -for something that has the potential to save thousands of lives and benefitted millions more- when your personal struggle to survive and to thrive preclude you from appreciating the significance of the achievement.

I meant to do this fist thing when I sat down to night, then nastyness and climbing tragedy in the Gunks took my attention,
Sorry about that, I wish I had ignored the Farouk and not responded ,
How is Wayne and the crew ?
I am so sorry that the bullying caused so much damage to his thread,
I hope Philo and Wayne are well and happy as can be
The death of Andrew Barns - all this sadness, of course the The flying monkeys tragedy . . . ?It is In the pursuit of the nothing.and a chance to grasp that nothingness drives us.
I am always thinking of you Wayne so I am slowed by the tragedies
After nearly forty years I get a bit scared, and I question my priorities.
Prayers for the fog to lift get well and be happy again.

After several delays for health considerations Dr Thrill had his surgery to install a shunt.
It has apparently gone well but he is currently on anti- seizure meds.
More as it becomes known and pertinent.

I was wondering about Wayne after reading about his accident. Good to hear that he had the shunt surgery and that his condition it at least addressable/treatable. I'll be following his update page, thanks for the link.
