HOrnbroddaughter Posted December 31, 2018 Posted December 31, 2018 Hello! My dad is still in a private room in the hospital but is being moved on Monday to a facility that can address his complex wounds from being put in the ventilator and his body going into shock weeks ago. They will also start him on some physical therapy as soon as possible. He’s still not able to get on the computer to update himself but is slowly getting better. It’s a slower and longer process than we originally thought but he is still getting better every day. Me and my family are so thankful for yalls concern and I will update as much as I can when anything changes! Please feel free to ask any questions.
WahooSteeler Posted December 31, 2018 Posted December 31, 2018 I am sure I speak for all, thanks for the update and prayers for his continued recovery!
kryptronic Posted December 31, 2018 Posted December 31, 2018 Thanks for the updates! Let him know we all miss him dearly, and please wish him a Happy New Year from all of us gearheads.
JMO413 Posted December 31, 2018 Posted December 31, 2018 Thank you for the update. Good to hear he's doing better each day.

Keyav8r Posted January 1, 2019 Posted January 1, 2019 Thanks for the update, Abby! Please let Don know he has a lot of friends praying for his recovery.
whowey Posted January 2, 2019 Posted January 2, 2019 Hoping things keep looking up for you Don. Someone needs to get back to polishing all that chrome!
kroyusa Posted January 3, 2019 Posted January 3, 2019 Roll HOrnbrod!! Get well soon. Miss reading your responses and posts.
JeepSchmidt O'Guinness Posted January 4, 2019 Posted January 4, 2019 Only just saw the post, 12hr shifts don't leave much time... Glad that Don is on his way to recovery. I've been through this before with my mother. My only advice is patience and empathy, for all parties. And down the road a portable O2 concentrater for when power goes out-- air tanks are for the birds ;¶
terrawombat Posted January 5, 2019 Posted January 5, 2019 My family and I send Don our best wishes for a speedy and complete recovery.

HOrnbroddaughter Posted January 9, 2019 Posted January 9, 2019 Hey everyone. No real updates yet still in a wait and see phase according to doctors. Most recent information is that he is on a bipap machine to maintain his oxygen levels as his CO2 levels rise too higher when he’s off. My mom has been with him every day and we are just in a stagnant phase. Thank you all for the concern and prayers and I hope to have a more positive update for everyone soon. V/r, Abby
DirtyComanche Posted January 9, 2019 Posted January 9, 2019 I saw you had posted and was hoping for some better progress. He's tough though, he'll pull through.
mjeff87 Posted January 9, 2019 Posted January 9, 2019 Thanks for the update Abby, we're all pulling for you all Hopefully dad didn't watch the Clemson game....that couldn't have helped any (kidding, of course ) Keep us posted when you can. Jeff
jpnjim Posted January 14, 2019 Posted January 14, 2019 Get well soon Don!!! Sorry to hear you're having a tough time, take it slow and steady, this place needs you back to show the young guys what Chrome is all about. Get stronger every day sir there's lots and lots more World Champion Red Sox to enjoy in the coming year.

87MJTIM Posted January 22, 2019 Posted January 22, 2019 I'm sorry to hear of his passing. My prayers go out to your family
coolwind57 Posted January 22, 2019 Posted January 22, 2019 Oh, I am so saddened to hear this. Don sure was a great source of friendly and competent help for me as I worked on my truck. Many private messages back and forth and he never appeared irritated that I asked for his help so often. To Don's Asawa: Taos puso po akong nakikiramay saiyo. Rest in Peace, my friend.
Dzimm Posted January 22, 2019 Posted January 22, 2019 Very sad news. My condolences to Don's family. We will surely miss having him around here. Rest in peace friend.
Pete M Posted January 22, 2019 Posted January 22, 2019 our hearts go out to your family. this place will never be the same. at least he and Jim can trade stories now.
