Hi Everyone,
I'll set up a paypal account today. I have one, so I'll figure out how to let you guys know where to send the money today and I'll put it in his fund account. I agree that the zazzle website is difficult to navigate at first. I thought it was weird that they only had women's shirt at first. Every one I talked to so far has enjoyed their shirts.
His friends and the local Little Rock music scene is having a Benefit Show on October 5. Below are the details. They are going to be selling bracelets, t-shirts, sketches of Trevor (he loves doodling his friends and is really good at it), and there is going to be a silent auction. To help with the mounting hospital bills, Trevor’s friends are putting together a benefit show and silent auction at Whitewater Tavern (2500 West 7th Street Little Rock, AR 72205) on Friday October 5th. "One way we are giving back to Trevor’s family is asking individual artists and local businesses to donate anything they wouldn’t mind being used in this auction by September 28th. We will include your name as a sponsor in our effort and you will be donating to not only one wonderful human being, but to a community that loves and supports one another in times of need. Please contact Laura Kelty at 501.205.966."
Thanks for recommending Ken. I'll reach out to him now. I still don't know what boxnife stands for... just that it has to do with some joke a long time ago. Can't wait to find out from Trevor. My interest has peaked
Update on Trevor: He's doing good. He's technically medically stable. His road rash is barely there. I think they are considering doing surgery to help his femur heal faster. He got all of the staples out of his stomach, right knee, and 3 places on his head. The doctor is very please with how they are healing. The trauma and respitory doc tried putting the trach plug in which would force him to breathe thru his nose and mouth. While this is what we want eventually, the Neuro doc (who trumps all of the docs) said not until when he wakes up. He's doing good and doesn't need to focus on breathing just waking up and keep getting better. I'm going to go on a little rant... The only reason we feel that they were trying to do that (the neuro doc didn't even sign off on it and he's supposed to) is because Trevor only has Medicaid. Well they tell us that he needs to go to a long term acute care facility, however there are only about 5 in the state and none of them take medicaid. so the next option is a nursing home. there are about 232 in the state. however only a select few can take patients with a trach, so it's hard to place him. We really feel like they are trying to get him out asap. His mom and I went to visit the two here in Little Rock that the social worker recommended (who also told us beggars can't be choosers) and reached out to see if they'd accept Trevor. I wouldn't let my worst enemy step foot in those places. They got 1 star on average. Over our dead body will he be moved there. I'm going to see about taking out a private loan, that'll at least get us started while the lawyers do their thing. We were left a note from the social worker telling us that he's been accepted at the worst 1 star nursing home that we went to and as soon as he can be released he's going there. Not going to happen ever! We are getting the media involved again. We've already been asked to sign documents stating everything was kosher with the hospital so they could release a statement to the news when his move from the ICU to the ICU stepdown room went as bad as we could have imagined. I do want to say tho that the majority of the RN's and doctors are incredibly nice and helpful. It's that 10% that is causing all the trouble.
I haven't spent 2 seconds thinking about the guy that did this to Trevor. He's not worth my energy. I do think I've reached my anger phase. It's not fair that he gets to kick it in a multi million dollar home in a double gated community and drive Mercedes and use his pilots license while his parents keep bailing him out. Well, the prosecutor filed some papers and got his bond revoked so he is sitting in jail until his trail as of yesterday.
Every time I think I can breathe easily something like the nursing home happens. I'll sign my life away and would rather be in debt the rest of our lives or file bankruptcy. It's just money and I just want my best friend back.
I'll try to remember to post on here more often. It's crazy how fast time flies by now but somehow at the same time it's creeping by...
