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

[spyderchick]

I've heard from one other person. Xian lives in Plymouth, but his sister lives here in Milwaukee, and may need to be staying there as he'll need physical therapy.

PM or email me your phone # and we'll go from there. Thanks!

Update on transport:

Thank you to everyone who offered their services. It looks like Mike Williams and Kelly are going to be able to work it all out. Kelly assured me she would keep us updated on Xians condition. They're getting conflicting reports on release date and so on.
Again, if you'd like to make a donation to help out, the Wegman Fund will accept donations specifically for Xian.

Get well, X...

Hello everyone, Kelly again...
I have spoke to Xian a few times today.  I have not received any official confirmation yet, but it is appearing as though there may be some likeliehood that Xian may need surgery for his lung.  He was to see a specialist today to get an official recommendation, but as of yet, I have not heard whether or not he has seen the specialist.  If he has the surgery, this will likely keep him in the hospital for another week.  If he does not need to have it, he will likely be released this weekend.

On a happier note, our mother will be leaving LA tomorrow [Friday] to fly to Omaha to be with Xian until he is released.  She should be in Omaha about 6:15pm.  I think that he is looking forward to some company and someone to help sort through all the communication between the medical staff. 8)

I will update again, when I have some more concrete news.  Thanks again for all the support!

Okay, me [Kelly] again...
Just got off the phone with Xian.  It seems as though the doctors have recommended NO surgery, but have instead opted to treat his "unhealing" lung as pneumonia [sp?].  He is going to put on antibiotics, and kept in the hospital for 7-10 days.  If the lung does NOT get any better at the end of that time, Xian said that they told him that they will need to remove 50% of his lung.  He said that the docs told him that is nothing to be alarmed at apparently, because supposedly people run marathons with 75% of their lungs removed??

So, let's hope that the anti-biotics work, and that it heals itself...

[spyderchick]

Holy crap! Let's hope it heals. So, what does he need? CD player and some CDs? A good book or 2? I'm sure he'll be crawling the walls w/ boredom.

Let's get a care package tohether and send it on!

He had an IPOD with him he was listening to on the way out to MAM, I believe that was in the bag that we brought to him at the Hospital, but I'm not for sure on that?

If theres anything that I can do let me know.  By the way if you guys need a place to say on the way back from the hospital to Mil let me know.  We are located in Cedar Rapids Iowa and we have an extra bed and couches if needed.

This whole thread has been a great example of the 'racing family' in our sport, and I'm damn proud to be a part of it!
