ATTENTION ALL MEMBERS...

Hello all! This is my first post on the X. My name is Kevin Sullivan and Iam friends with Jason. I am the one who started the gofundme accnt for him. If there are any doubts as to the legitimacy of the accnt or where the $$ is going you can check me out on FB.
 
an update for you guys

jason is sleeping a lot. he went through a rough time with a high fever and thats over. the drainage from his brain is almost clear now, which is awesome!

he is eating normal food. talking a little when he is awake and cutting up a bit. says some joking things to his girlfriend and me. always giving me fist bumps. and holding hands with his girl and friends. likes the feel of a hand in his.

when we left today i said "are you going to tell tonya (my wife) bye?" he opened his eyes wide, looked at her and winked. man you would think he was playing the whole time!

there's talk of moving him to rotary sometime this week.

things are sounding kinda good

thanks guys

At least I'm still racing you quiter!!!!
Wife decided (dropped the bomb on me) on the way to the Tupelo race that she wanted to stop teaching and do the stay at home mom thing, she was a high school math teacher. Not gonna do any kids any good being there when your heart is not in it. Besides, that kid "That almost had you" scared you so bad that you stopped racing standup also! I miss it. But just did not have the money to travel and race..... Miss all my race brothers more.

"One more lap" Harrison, "one more lap"!!!!
LOL............ Yup.
You know, that weekend was the best racing I ever did I think. Well, not quite. But I felt the best. I had sinus surgery that winter. I was shocked how when I finished I was not totally out of breath........ Felt Great..........
 
So yesterday when I walked in to see Jason, he was sitting in a chair. It was a hospital chair made for patients not a regular chair. But the dude was out of bed!

He isn't talking much he says his throat hurts. He does give us the occasional yes or no but most of the time it's uh huh.

When asked if he was going n pain he said his a$$ hurt. I told him he's been hibernating for quite a while on it so it goes without saying.

His girlfriend tried to feed him, he wasn't hungry. I just try and make him laugh and or smile and feel comfortable somehow.

The nurses put him back in bed and he went of to zzzzzz land

Not too bad

Thanks

At the hospital today and more tubes are out of Jason. I always tell him that everyday their taking more fuel line out of him. So he can run on his own fuel lines.

I asked him if the physical therapist came to see him yet. He told me yes and they had him walking! I asked him how far but he couldn't remember.

There's talk of him being move out of ICU tomorrow. Great news!

I don't know if I mentioned it but since this happened I go see him everyday. When I leave the hospital I go to his house and feed his dogs and play with em for awhile ( Jason lived alone). Im standing in front of the garage throwing a ball with his crazy hyper lab, and it hits me that every time I come over here to work on skis or go sking or whatever, that the garage door is open and the radio is on and he is head first burried in a hull. Something is going BRRRRAAAAPPP!
But now after 2 weeks, everyday, its just so wrong.
I just want my friend back

I feel for ya bro. You just hit the day where it set in for YOU I think. When these things happen it's a blur for a week or two until everyone realizes what's really happened.

Stay strong for your buddy. That's what he needs now.
