Broward General ER Trauma.
They haven't admitted him to stay yet. They should have last night but the doc on duty was a prick and sent him home because there wasn't "life threatening" injuries to justify it. The nurse and I both disagreed with his decision.

Stephanine,

France my wife is a nurse, let me know if you need any help from her.

[JeepNWilly]

I would like to know the hospital info if he gets admitted.

[Lulu Smiles]

Ok, thanks Bill.

As soon as Nichole lets me know anymore updates I'll post again. I guess it will depend on test results and what doc is on duty tonight.

[Lulu Smiles]

Nichole didn't tell me much just now as the other phone (Steve's) was ringing but he's being discharged to go back home now.

[Angler]

I'm glad he's back home we will continue praying for him. Thanks for all the updates.

[SodMan]

Mel and I are putting him on some prayer lists. We have him in ours. Thanks for keeping us posted.

[SouthernStyleV8]

please let me kow if there is anything i can do as well

[Lulu Smiles]

He's home and sleeping on stronger pain meds than before. The blood going into his stomach from the injuries in his face is still making him sick. His neighbor I hear is taking him to the check-up appointment tomorrow. I'll check in/call on him tomorrow as I can around work.

Ok so what a night.. Yes the above post is true and Steve now also has a nausea medicine. The doctor has him on a soft diet due to his teeth && right side of face but I got him some jello that he was finally able to swallow && hold down before going to bed. We will find out after 8am tomorrow what time he will be at the clinic for his follow up and I am sure we will all be updated then..

I heard his son Angel will be back home tomorrow as well to assist in anything needed ..



P.S. After seeing the jeep.. For sure my next upgrade will be a full roll cage ((as being my daily driver))!!

[LadyJeffson]

Steve is extremely lucky to have friends like ya'll! Someone is watching over him.

[SouthernStyleV8]

so... any more news???...

[SeaMonkey]

Was at Bill's last night, when I heard. That is awful. Sorry to hear Steve. Get well soon--you know everyone's pulling for you!

[Lulu Smiles]

Not yet. I called and left him a message this morning. I don't know what time he was going back for his appointment that he was to schedule today. I asked him to call me as soon as he could so I could update everyone and see how he was doing.

Sergio is going over after work this evening. I'll probably go stop by too to see if there is something I can do.

[nikolii]

I just got off the phone with Steve and Lee is there and taking him to the doctor at 1:30.. He was able to eat Jello again and hold down his medicine which he was unable to last night.. Lee will keep me updated.

[BS13855]

i dont know steve, but i am friends with tom and
im new to this jeep fourm. i hope and pray for a fast recovery.

[ljrubitm]

Lee & I stoped by there this morning. He wiil be at the doctor at 1:30. Sorry I got called away.

[nikolii]

Steve is on his way home from the doctor I didnt get many details other than he needs to go to a clinic tomorrow to sign up for free health care and then after that he can proceed to make an appt for surgery.. When I find out more details I will update..

[PigPen]

Im at his house right now... he is doing better, meaning not throwing up blood and was able to eat Jello again. But he's still in a lot of pain. Gonna spend the night here and will update in the morning

[JeepNWilly]

Thanks for the update Sergio.
Glad he is not throwing up blood and he is able to keep jello down.

[Lulu Smiles]

Like Sergio said, he's doing better with the nausea now since he has medicine for it. Still very sore but I think he is getting some rest now. I was there for a little while tonight. Steve says that Lee will take him to the clinic tomorrow and I believe Sergio will be there again tomorrow night.

Angel also is in town now and was able to see him tonight for a while.

Thanks for everyone's prayers and all who have pitched in to help out. From my own vantage point of not having family in town nor a partner in my life to help care for me if anything should happen to me, I know that Steve is thankful to have so many great friends looking out for him and helping out where they can in the middle of our own busy schedules.

[JBYDesign]

Glad to hear he is doing better... jello is a good start! if he needs anything or just someone to swing by and help out... let me know. In PR at the moment but will be back in S FL...on Weds nite.

[ChefJeep]

we are at the clinic waiting he seems to have an easyer time moving around I will update when we are dun

[Lulu Smiles]

Update from Lee:

He's being taken back to the ER for the surgery. It seems they told him at the clinic he is in the wrong district? Not sure how all that works. His surgeon is nice and told him to go back to the ER and he'd admit him there.

Lee has to leave Steve there now to go in to work or do something else he had scheduled. I will stop by on my way out of work to see how everything is progressing and what needs to be done next. If anyone is in the area with time off before 4:30pm, perhaps check on him at Broward General so he's not alone.

Is this the facial or hand surgery?

Thanks for the update Steph. Dave and Gus are working on setting up an account for donations for anyone who can help Steve out during this very difficult time. We'll post the info once it is ready.

Any updates on the Donation account? Might be easier for everyone if you open a donation account on Paypal. It'll allow folks to use a CC or Debit Card and you can add a Donate button to the thread. It'll also help track things for tax man.

Facial

[SouthernStyleV8]

wow... no insurance on the person who hit him??... i hope they throw the book at the jackass and make an example out of him

[CrackerJack]

Latest update from Steph. Steve is in room 4000-2 at Broward General. The # to the room is 954-355-4590. He also has to consult w/ a surgeon about his face and his hand and then they will decide on when to do the surgeries.
As far as the acct, it looks like we're going to create a paypal acct for him. As soon as I can get all his info I will set it up and post the acct name and info.

[PigPen]

I'm sorry I'm not gonna be able to stay the night with steve. I'm having surgery tomorrow very early in the morning for my big toe. Haven't been home in 2 days and I gotta take care of my dog and have everything ready for tomorrow.

[Lulu Smiles]

Good luck to you Sergio. Hope you get to keep your toe.

Steve should be fine now that he has real nurses to take care of him tonight. He knows to call me if he does need anything. Hopefully he'll just sleep, as I know he needs it.
