If money is all I can do, then I will send it. If there is anything else, please let me know. I really want to help. You know my number Mike, please call it....

BOB REPORT:
For the last couple of days Bob is holding his own with no improvement and no regression either. So as Rebel says "Let's take that as the cup being half full instead of half empty." He continues to be on a ven and sedated.
I talked to Buddy, close friend of Bob, who was going in to the hospital as I spoke to him on the phone. He informed the family of the concern and support of the Forum members and they were appreciative. Their needs are currently being met, for they have family in the area, so they are not having the expense of motels. Buddy relayed the message that if there are any needs not being met to let us know.
Thanks again on behalf of the Elliotts

I haven't met Bob or any of the Florida forum members, but as a GA HH rider who just had a minor accident a week ago, I wanted to send my thoughts and prayers to Bob and his family.
I had riders I have never met posting well wishes within minutes of my accident and I can't express how overwhelming the support of other riders made me feel.
If there is anything his family needs, please let all his fellow riders know so we can help in any way we can.
May your recovery be swift and my God bless you and your family.

The marjority of the human race go through their life with blinders on. Only a select few slow down to smell the roses. There is only a select few who take the time to notice others. I have seen all walks of life. There is one community I have noticed who cares more for others. I never seen a true biker pass another biker in need. I have never heard of a biker turning down another biker in need. The motorcycle community has shown me true friendship and true love. I am PROUD to call myself a biker (motorcyclist). When one of us is in need, we give. When one of us is hurt, we help. When one of us is tired, we open our homes and lend our bed. Here at HDF we have some of the best bikers the world has to offer. I have never met a member I did not like. We ride together, we laugh together, we cry together, and we live together. HDF has been, and always will be, my family. All of you are my brothers and sisters. I would open my home and heart to each one of you as I know you would do the same for me. So Mike, you let Bob and his family know their family at HDF cares and loves them. I know we will rise to the needs of Bob and his family. God Bless!

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!BOB UPDATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
2003FLHP1, Yes!! A support ride will be in order once he is awakened. We can all get together and maybe time it with the shirt hand out with Walt.
I talked to Buddy again a few minutes ago and this is what he had to say.
Bob is still sedated and on a breathing tube. He has not regained full conscienceness since the accident. Of course the full extent of the head injury will not be known until he regains conscienceness. Apparently he was having high fever due to infection in his lung from the trauma and he had high blood pressure. The fever and the blood pressure is down so that is good news. They were also able to decrease the oxygen level in his vent, so there is improvement there also. Right now improvements are coming in small steps and we can be thankful for all we see. We must continue to pray for him and the family.
Buddy informed me that thus far all the needs of the family are being met and Bob's employer is also helping out. He will keep me posted of any thing needed and all updates of Bob's condition.
I sent Buddy a link to this thread so he can read it and we may even have us new member of the Florida Crew.
Thanks to all!!!!! Keep Praying!!!!!

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!BOB UPDATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bob is still improving step by step. Doctors have removed vent and installed trache (Sleepman can probably explain this better) and have installed feeding tube in his side. Doctors were concerned how he would handle the time from the changeover from the vent to the trache, but said all went amazingly well. He is now down to receiving 40% oxygen through the trache. Docs want to slowly start waking him and are already seeing physical response to touch by others. Another good sign!
All of these things are good news and bring encouragement to friends and family although there is still a long ways to go.
Thanks for all your prayers and encouragement on behalf of the Elliott family.
Mike

Talked to Buddy for the second time today just a few minutes ago. Here is some more news. Bob is only on 1/3 of the sedation meds and when is spoken to by his daughters he opens his eyes. His temp has risen some and the doctors are a little concerned. But overall the last couple of days things are looking better.
His employer is planning a benefit BBQ for him and wanted me to let the word out. No date has been set yet, but as soon as I get it, I will let you guys and gals know. For those that can get away, I am sure it would be encouraging to the family.
I will stay in touch,
Mike

For us out-of-towners that can't attend the bbq, please make sure we get an address so we can help out too.
