BSTEDCB7's son's brain surgery!!!!!!

[TnT_Mom]

Hey everyone just keeping you updated on Trevor....We have an appointment on the 29th to do the first blood draw. Second draw is on Jan 4th, third draw is on Jan 7th and final draw is on Jan 10th. By then whether its Jeremy or I that donated, we will be pretty drained of energy. 4 pints of blood in 11 days will kick our ass. They will also be doing most of the physical pre-op on the 10th as well. We did get some good news this weekend. We were recommended to the Ronald McDonald house and get to stay there as long as we need to for free. We just have to pay for our food and parking. Parking alone is a $15 deposit and $10 weekly. That is the best news we have gotten so far on all of this. Trevor has gotten $30 in paypal thanks to you guys here on CB7tuner, and he has made $80 from my moms place of employment and $37 from the local Caseys General Store in his donation jar there. I spent all day yesterday making and putting out 4 additional jars. And I have to take the 6th one tomorrow to the Caseys up town as well. Things are slowly falling together I guess just doesn't seem like enough time before his surgery to get it all taken care of. My main concern is making this Christmas very memorable for Trevor since he has surgery within 2 weeks afterwards. I don't want him to look back on Christmas of 2004 and only remember his surgery and all that he was dealing with. I want this Christmas to be wonderful despite medical bills and utility bills that we are falling behind on due to paying for Christmas and taking time off work for all of this. Hope you all have a wonderful Christmas and please keep our little Trevor in your thoughts. Thanks guys! Ty N Trev's mom=Tiffany

Please make sure you received my paypal donation & Merry Christmas!

[deevergote]

Please make sure you received my paypal donation.

And mine as well... I sent a couple days ago.

[TnT_Mom]

WOW...I got home from Christmas vacation and saw that Trevor had received 2 more donations. Thank you guys so very much. Honestly I was so appreciative and overwhelmed that you guys would go to these ends for my baby whom none of you even know. It honestly made me cry. I can't even begin to put into words what I feel when you guys help us like you have. It gives me hope, a feeling that things will turn out because we have people like you on our side. Thanks again to everyone. Trevor has a total of $255 in his fund now. You guys are angels!!!!

Could you maybe make some sort of label availible for us? Like for a donation can? I'm sure many people would be able to put a can up at their place of work and get donations. I work at a restaurant, so I could hopefully help out a lot! That is if my new boss would go for it...

Fizz (since I know you get email alerts for this thread as well) the same goes for your bro.

If we can make a donation can with a picture and some info about the situation, I'm sure we can really help you out! There are 2000 people on here, if only SOME of them help out that way, things will be good!

Everything will pan out correctly for you. Good luck dude.

[TnT_Mom]

LOL I appreciate the words of kindness Brian but just for the record, I am NOT a dude hence the name>>>Tnt_mom I would assume the word mom would have given it away. Sorry I just had to give ya shit for that one, it made me laugh though. But besides that, I do apprecitate the thought...thanks very much!

[BrianDB1]

Ok dude. I didnt even look at the Screen name of the poster. Im glad it gotcha to laugh... We are all put here for one thing... I think that's why Im put here... but would be highly doubtful.

DEEVER---as for a picture...would u be able to take the one that Jeremy has on his post about this and copy it to something like Microsoft Works or some shit like that? Most of the other pictures we have are of both of the boys and I think it may be better to just have Trevors picture. Lemme know if that works. And here is a suggestion of what you could cut and paste to Microsoft Works or Word or whatever as well. Lemme know what you think of that. That is what I have hand written on all of the jars that we have here. If it is too long for you you can imporvise as needed. We just got all of our cans put up last week (5 of them so far) and we collected $138 today. Like I said earlier we have a total of $255. 10% of the way for the cost of the blood donation bull and storage atleast. WOOHOO only 90% left...LOL. anywho, here is the suggestion for the donation jars and like i said if you need a different picture then just PM me and I can get one for ya. Thanks a million, you are a wonderful person

On December 10th, 19 month old Trevor was diagnosed with a 2 inch arachnoid cyst on his brain. Trevor will undergo craniotomy surgery on January 14th for attempted removal of the cyst. Any and all donations to help Trevor would be greatly appreciated. Thanks to all and God Bless You.

That sounds great to me. I'll see what I can do. I'm not too bad with photoshop, and I should be able to make a decent donation jar label... I'll ask around to see where I can put the jars. I'll also include your paypal info, so if someone wanted to make a direct donation that way, they could do that.

When you get the label worked up, send me a copy. There's a Pool Hall dubbed "The Break" around here (KC) that I basically live at, I'm there all the time. I'll set it up there. Also Ill put one out at work.

Ok guys tomorrow(Wednesday) is our first blood donation for Trevor. I am going into this thing raising as much hell as possible. Everyone that I have talked to says it doesn't sound right to be charged to DONATE blood even if it is for my own child. But I guess if I HAVE to pay for this I will do it for Trevor but don't think I won't pitch a fit first. Just another bill to add to the pile I guess. We just accumulated another bill today for our dog (Baby Girl). She is the miniature pinscher seen in Jeremys signature. She broke her femur bone yesterday and had to have surgery this morning and that gave us a healthy bill of something a little over 500. And then it will cost more to get sutures removed in 10 days and the metal pin that is drilled in to her bone removed in 4 weeks. I swear when it rains it pours!!!! What else could happen? Do I dare ask?!?!? Well wish us luck on tomorrow. Hopefully Jeremy's blood is the match and he is the lucky one who gets stuck with the needles every 3 days for the next 2 weeks...LOL. Nah, I will do it if I have to. I will keep you all updated and please keep me updated as well Deever as to how things are going there with the donation jar and you other guys who are doing the same. Thanks again guys.

[deevergote]

Ok, I'll work up the picture and stuff for the donation jar tomorrow after work. I'll have it ready to go tomorrow night. I'll post the image here so anyone who wants it can get it. I'm going to make it so people can either drop a donation in the jar, or send money via paypal (which would be best, really...)

[TnT_Mom]

Hey Mike-any news on your end with your donation jars? I have 6 jars up right now that has given Trevor a total of $323. He would have had $423 had our dog not broken her leg. We had to put $100 deposit on her surgery and that was the only money we had. In the end, it will all boil down to the rest coming out of my own pocket anyways. Just wanted to give this thing a bump since it's been down for so long. Make sure nobody forgets about Trevor, and to see if you have had any sucess. I have made up flyers of my own as well and even posted an article in our local newspaper.

Less than one week until the day of surgery!!!! Keep those prayers coming!!!
