Campaign Story
On August 27th 2016, my uncle was involved in a motorcycle accident. He was headed to work that evening when a vehicle coming in the opposite direction did not see him and pulled out in front of him. The vehicle collided with his motorcycle sending my uncle 15' in the air spinning 3 times before landing on the hot Arizona asphalt. This all occurred less than 2 miles from our home. He sustained bleeding to the brain and multiple shattered bones throughout his body including leg, arm, wrist and ribs.
My uncle was a main provider in our home. Throughout his journey forward though the brokenness, we are asking for assistance from community, family and friends to help us through the storm ahead.

Day 10: Flatlined progress
Update posted by Stephanie Bellomy at 04:57 pmDave is about the same today. They are taking him off of a drug today to allow a better mental state. He will stay on propythol but they're administering a pic line to better distribute antibiotics and the propythol. They are saying propythol can cause tissue deterioration if administered too
Day 9: Labor Day
Update posted by Stephanie Bellomy at 04:46 pmSo as for the message earlier about an MRI for brain damage. So we've been on edge about that information because the terminology "brain damage" must be the nurses way of communicating. Anyway waited all day to get that result. Apparently their goal was to remove the neck brace but. . . . .
Day 8: Sunday, Labor Day Weekend
Update posted by Stephanie Bellomy at 04:43 pmDave had a CT scan for his brain around 2 ish in the morning. Results are not immediate for us until the trauma surgeon or neurologist reads it. No time as to his arrival. Depends on his schedule. He failed what they call a CPAC test to determine if he's. . . . .
Day 7: Today marks one week
Update posted by Stephanie Bellomy at 04:38 pmApologize for the time difference and whenever these messages arrive to all of you that are working. Called this morning to check on Dave. His night was somewhat restful. Vitals are good. A positive sign for me was he squeezed the nurses hand and wiggled his toes. I'm so happy. . . . .
Day Six
Update posted by Stephanie Bellomy at 12:31 amWell Gd only knows what lies for my poor husbands world today. I took an hour extra at home this morning and I was uneasy to fly back to this hospital. Had to cancel my markets with the business today. It would have been great income but.......The nurse immediately stopped. . . . .
Day Five, I want to take on his fight!
Update posted by Stephanie Bellomy at 09:04 pmWe received a message through a friend that knows brain functions as he is a surgeon and these were his words. Take to heart: combative behavior is a high level form of function. Contrast that with wondering if there will be signs of any "presence" in there at all, yelling
Day Four, why is there no progress?
Update posted by Stephanie Bellomy at 05:11 pm5:00 am and I am heading out to the hospital now. I called the nurses at 2:30 am and they have Dave on the surgery schedule so I need to get there to access his condition with my own eyes and hear how the night went for him. His daughter. . . . .

Update posted by Stephanie Bellomy at 05:43 pmHi Stephanie-is his name David Turner? What hospital is he at? We came up the hill and were there before emergency services got there. I held his hand and tried to be a bit of a comfort until paramedics arrived.
