Re: Rex Staton
 

I just left Rex at 10:30am. He is feeling a little better. He is facing some pretty big health issues. If he had insurance, he would probably still be in the hospital. He said thanks for all the well wishes. I will check back in with him this evening, and try to keep everyone updated.

Re: Rex Staton
 

I wish him the best! I didn't have insurance when I got hurt either I had a case worker from the hospital who did the work for us and got Medicade I know a lot has changed in Health care since then! Try that route so he can get better treatment I hope this will help him!

Re: Rex Staton
 

Sexy Rex hope things work out for you.

Having spend 7 of the past 14 days in hospitals in Jasper, IN. and Indy being out of one is the best medicine you can get.

The Williams family have you in our prayers.

Re: Rex Staton
 

Rex went to his appointment this morning and they took him to the hospital right away. He had a long surgery this afternoon that went well, except for some complications. He is in ICU and they are keeping him heavilly sedated. Hope is to get him awake later tomorrow. He was alert enough to squeeze my hand as I passed on well wishes. He still has a long way to go. Thanks to all. Will update when able.

Hope you are felling better Danny.

Re: Rex Staton

Re: Rex Staton
 

Good to hear Rex is getting the medical help he needs.

Brent aka Tony Funk - I'm doing good. Will be at Gas City tonight Friday June 17. So bring your ear plugs because I've got three weeks of spewage bottled up and will let it go tonight on the PA.

Re: Rex Staton
 

Thanks for the updates and keeping us posted, Goody.

And a lot of us out here sincerely appreciate all you guys are doing to help our buddy out! :9::32:

Re: Rex Staton
 

I just left Rex at the hospital. He is still on respirator and sedated. He rested the 4 hours I was there but opened his eyes and looked at me once while I was telling him about all of his friends asking about him and praying for him. He may have to have surgery again as they may have not have removed all of the infected areas due to being afraid he couldnt take a longer surgery. They are pumping him with antibiotics as he septic right now, getting his sugar down which is down in the mid 200's from yesterday 527, and giving him breathing treatments. Keep the prayers coming. I will sit with him tomorrow and give any more updates as they come. His fever is down to 98 from 104 this morning, so that is a good sign. Love to all.

Re: Rex Staton
 

Just left Rex after sitting with him for a couple of hours. They are trying to wean him off of the vent. He did really well on his first test and they are running a second now. He saw me for a bit and I told him that his race family was praying for his quick recovery. They keep him pretty sedated so he doesn't disturb the vent and he can get some much needed rest. The doc will be in later this evening to see if they can pull the vent out. The nurse says he has a long road to recovery so keep those prayers coming please. He is in ICU at St Joseph hospital. He can't have visitors between 2pm and 4pm. Thanks.
Sincerely,
Asha

Re: Rex Staton
 

Talked to Rex's nurse last night and the doc wants to keep him on the vent a bit longer. I will go visit here shortly and give any updates. Right now it's just mostly a waiting game to get the infection in his body under control. Continued prayers please.
Sincerely,
Asha

Re: Rex Staton
 

Brent and I just left ICU visiting Rex. Things are still pretty much the same. He is still on the vent and his temp around 100. He does open his eyes for a bit when I talk to him. I tell him about everyone asking about him and all the prayers. I can't wait for him to get off the vent so he can talk to me. Love to all and keep praying!

Re: Rex Staton
 

Left Rex at 5:30. He is still sedated and on the vent, but he seemed a little more alert. We couldn't stay long because when he hears familiar voices he gets excited and starts overbreathing the machine. He is holding his own. His temp is staying steady. Have been passing on well wishes. Thanks to all for the concern.

Re: Rex Staton
 

Thanks for the update Funkster, let him know he's sorely missed around the race track.

Re: Rex Staton
 

Will do Chris. I have mentioned your name a couple of times.

Re: Rex Staton
 

Left Rex at 5:45 on Weds. He is still being weened off the respirator,and the nurse said it was going well. He is still heavily sedated, but looked at us the whole time we talked to him. He still has a very long road ahead. Thank you to everyone for the concern.

Re: Rex Staton
 

Get well soon Rex!

Re: Rex Staton
 

Tell Uncle Rex Dave Sink said we need to get him well so we can make another trip to Oswego for the Classic in a few months.

Re: Rex Staton
 

Left Rex at 4:45 on Thurs. He is still sedated, but is more alert. He would move his head and follow you with his eyes when you spoke. Only stayed a few minutes as he gets excited and it messes up the machine. He still has a very long road ahead, but continues to improve. The surgeon said he is healing fine. Thanks to everyone the concern everyone has had, has been wonderful. Thank you everyone.

Re: Rex Staton
 

Left Rex at 5:00 Friday. He is still on the vent, but was alert and able to answer questions by shaking his head. He is aware of where he is ,and why he is there. Nurse is hopeful he will be off the vent in the next couple of days. Thank you for your concern.

Re: Rex Staton
 

Left Rex at 1:30 Sat. He was very alert, though still on the vent. He was happy that Josh Spencer had came by and left him a new t shirt. Tom Chalk and his daughter Jamie were there when we got there. Jamie is a case worker at the hospital, and she has went above and beyond to help Rex. Rex also liked the card signed by all the drivers. Hopefully he will be off the vent soon, and we can get him healed up and back to the track. He still has a long way to go, but is doing much better. Thanks to all for your concern.

Re: Rex Staton
 

I don't know Rex or Brent but I do know that having REAL friends will help a person through their problems be they physical, emotional or whatever. Just from what I've read here it's obvious that Rex is blessed to have a friend like Brent. Get well Rex and I hope to meet you both someday on one of my all too infrequent trips to Indiana.

Re: Rex Staton
 

Thank you for the kind words, but my wife and I are just doing our part. Dave Cochran has been a huge help from the beginning of all this. Mike Harrington has done so much keeping up with his mail, mowing his yard, and who knows what else. Travis Branch has done too many things for Rex than I could count. All the people who have visited, or sent well wishes. Everyone deserves thanks. This has been a group effort.

Re: Rex Staton
 

The wife talked to the nurse Sun Morning, they are hpoeful to get him off the vent today. They asked not to visit until after 4 as they are weening him off. Will update when I get home from Kokomo.
