Well guys I guess it was only time for me to post one of these, My dad has been in and out of the hospital last few days and Tuesday he got out when they told him he has less then 10% of functioning liver left and today I got a call hes back in.. So I am headed out to California and if possible I might be compatible to give him my liver.. he has two other sons soo he has a huge chance of a match but.. like me he is way to stubborn. So if you guys can keep him in your prayers and thoughts... and if he pulls through this I will already be in cali to show some east coast speed on west coast... since he always wanted to see one of our races.

all the best im sure hill be fine he has you and the family looking out for him.

Ash' I hope everything goes well for you and your dad. We will keep you in our prayers . Please keep us updated.

Pray'n hard for you dude. Hope things work out good for your Dad....

Well I got here friday Went straight up and spend all night with him saturday we spoke about whats going on so at this point we decided there was more then just a liver problem and he agreed and we had to do surgery which sunday was hard... and all night hoping not to get that call... but today monday hes stable but we found his liver is in 4th stage and it was a small blockage causes 8 years ago when he should of died instead which he made it now which is amazing but also hurtful considering he made it 8 years beyond when they said medically he should be dead soo right now we are crossing our fingers a full liver shows up before it turns bad; and thanks guys i been actually running my poor car to death keeping my mind busy.

Well newer update still awaiting the sheriff coroner to get back.. she seen just the recent work shortly before and said it looks like someone hugely over looked the problem... so currently working with 5 states "specialist" of each thing he had done in the last 8 years over looked and detailed down. while it is going into the first month its still not easy but I guess out of all of my siblings and mother I think I feel the most hatred and out of all of them will pursue this til each "specialist" has their licenses revoked. But what happened was scar tissue was building up on his intestine, Which ultimately caused his death. Now this would of shown 6 years ago and could of fixed the problem. Mind you he went in 8 years ago for complete organ failure and a month later did a 1 in 1trillion and walked out healthy and amazed Uc Davis and specialist around the world who came in to see him. Every month he was probed down the mouth and up.... well yea so With all that also he had this done 4 days before surgery to see if its blockage or something else, Keep in mind when your intestine has scar tissue or is DEAD inside of you it has a color and texture that is very well known by doctors who Actually know what their GI licenses are meant to be for, So what first arose was a question. He was puking up green liquid and having a belly ache? and we said yes.. the coroner asked why was he released? that's the first 2 signs of a bowl obstruction. We said yes we know but doctors in ER and surgery said else wise also his GI doctor said it wasn't. now mind you we had X-rays took also at this time and they didn't notice it.. So what eventually happened was the scar tissue collapsed and caused the obstruction which he could of survived but I will explain that in a second. The scar tissue from his green puke also caused massive internal burns into his lungs also which caused him later to have the breathing problems due to lack of 20% of usable lungs...


So basically, Please learn a simple thing kids and adults alike have the possibility of just burping and causing a obstruction. when you feel a tummy ache and cant pass anything for 4 hours and or you throw up something green. rush to emergency and explain to them what it might be. you got roughly 12 hours before your intestine has before shutting down and to point out longer you wait the harder the operation will be to fix it... But as for my Father He always wanted my nephew who is autistic to learn and be normal and maybe find a cure to it. and so With the money we got from his Death we plan on giving it all to Autism speaks. which My nephew is 10 and has the mind of a 8 year old when he was 5 his mind was still 1 we started taking him to these people and between 5 and 7 he shot up to 3 - 5 in mind age. Now the biggest problem is his mentor, Grandfather and the man who has made this mostly happened has been taken from him due to people not understanding the most simple problem and fixing it.

Ash i,m really sorry to here that. My thoughts and prayers for you and your family...God Bless......Steve

Man, that stinks. I hope you'al get thru this, it seems really hard to come to terms with this considering the Dr's just didnt do what needed to be done a long time ago....

God Speed to your Dad, and your whole family.
