Xian In Intensive Care Unit (GOING HOME!!!)

[GSXR RACER MIKE]

***UPDATE***

According to an E-mail I recieved from Xian's mom he may be moved out of the ICU on Wednesday or Thursday, but she is also being told he will be there for at least another week!

I sure wish I knew someone out there who could at least visit him, being alone and 9 hours away from home flat out SUCKS for him!

although I do not personally know Xian, I was working the event and probably met him at some point

if there is anything I can do, I'm 20 minutes from Omaha, just let me know.

Know any good rent-a-stripper places? From the Playhouse maybe?  :-)

Hello everyone,
Xian's sister, Kelly again.  Just spoke with the hospital.  They will be moving Xian to a regular room today, as soon as a bed is available.  The nurse I spoke with said he is doing very well, and they even hope to remove the chest tube today.  She told me that he may be released as soon as this weekend, but wouldn't say for certain. 

If anyone is interested in helping financially, it was brought to my attention that there is the Wegman Fund out there that could help Xian with any of his financial expenses.  If you would like to make a tax-deductible contribution for Xian, they will keep a separate accounting of those donations for him.  All thoughts, and well wishes, and all other help that has been offered are most greatly appreciated!!

Donations can be made at:

Thank you for your thoughts!

Xian! Stop practicing for the back cover of the calendar! It's not happening. 

Get better soon! Since I'm local, let me know if you need anything!

I think we're going to need to figure out a way to get Xian back from Iowa if he is not allowed to fly. Anyone who has availablilty to transport him. please give me a call. (414.327.0967) We're not sure whether he will be released this weekend or early next week. I'm sure it will depend on Xian's progress.

According to Kelly (Xian's sister, who spells her name like a normal person) , the transport vehicle will need to have a decent sized front seat that is able to recline, and you will need to make frequent stops so Xian can get out and move around.

Kelly will be co-ordinting final details, so again, if you can help let me know and I'll put you in touch with her.

Thanks everyone!

I sent X a care package of magazines today.  He'll get to choose from fast bikes, fast cars, and fast women.  Wonder which one he'll look at first?

THAT place has STRIPPERS???

They told us (the locals) that it was going to be a local community center

Alexia even though I haven't ever met the guy I would be willing to help out with transport home.  I have a Pontiac Grand Am (2 door) but the front seats are pretty comfortable.  I have both Tuesdays and Wed off of work.  I would call ya but it's pretty late.  If there's a way that I could meet someone somewhere and get him moving along I would be more than willing to help out.  email me at msbrit1athotmail.com

I've stayed in touch with Xian's sister and MOM and have offered to drive back to Omaha from Rockford (near Blackhawk Farms) if need be to get him home. If we could set up a relay that would be cool, as long as he is comfortable, that would put less driving time on any one person. Co-ordination of times and meeting locations would be the big thing, but I am willing to miss some work if need be to get him home. I have no problem doing this for free - he is going to have enough financial stuff he is going to have to work thru when he gets back on his feet again (after not having any income for a while).

I think the big thing now is to find out what the Doctor says tomorrow to the family about how long he will stay in the Hospital and any transportation limitations he may have when released. There may still be a possibility of the family being able to transport Xian, but in the event that doesn't happen I think what would be helpful now would be to know what section anyone willing to drive could help with between Omaha, Nebraska and Milwaukee, Wisconsin and what days and times of day they could do it. Rockford is about 2 hours away from Milwaukee and is along the way from Omaha, I can get to the Iowa border in about 2 hours - Des Moines, Iowa in about 4 to 4 1/2 hours and 6 1/2 hours all the way to Omaha. Travel times are going to be increased slightly due to the possibility of having to make extra stops for Xian, but it shouldn't be a huge amount more.

 I thought we left him his pedal bike so he could get home?   Some people are just plain lazy....  DOH!!!!  LOL!

  Does Xian live in Milwaukee? M.Williams- are you in Rockford? I'm in Janesville- I could meet you in Rockford and take the last leg to Milwaukee, IF it's in the evening with the swap taking place around 5 pm or later. I cannot get vacation next week, I already have Monday off. No charges , or baggage fees, just leave my seats dry please.     

  Alexa-have you heard from anyone on this coordination effort?
