Prayers For Ed "2Paps" Bruette

[David357]

Update: 9/12/18



Today was a busy day for Ed. He received his last two doctor's releases this morning for transfer to the long term care facility.

Ed has now graduated from the Mission Hospital trauma unit. GO Ed.:clapping:

At around 3:00 PM today, Ed was transferred by ambulance, to the long care term facility located at:

Care Partners

68 Sweeten Creek Rd.

Asheville, NC 28803

Ed Bruette

Room #61

The family has specifically requested NO PHONE CALLS PLEASE, until further notice.

MAIL CONTACT ONLY PLEASE

The last several hours consisted of a thorough review and examination by his new rehabilitation doctors, specialists and physical therapists.

Ed will be going through some very intense physical therapy for the next 10 to 14 days with a minimum of 3 hours per day. He may become quite fatigued. He will also be taught how to get himself in and out of bed and into a chair without using his legs. Ed is not allowed to bear his full body weight on his legs for at least eight weeks.

Ed is very tired and is getting adjusted to the new rehab facility.

This is a great rehab facility. "Care Partners" actually provides a room that both Ed and Connie can stay together for his extended rehabilitation. Connie has been at his bed side almost constantly since her arrival early Friday last week.

For now, please respect the family wishes and give the family space, as Ed progresses through his intense rehabilitation phase.

I was not able to get a definite answer today on any mail that members may have sent to Mission Hospital previously. So Lola, Gary and any others, please consider resending. I will keep trying to get an answer from Mission Hospital.

I will not be visiting Ed until the family or the rehab facility decides visits are ok. I will be receiving updates from his daughter, Kelly, that I will pass on to the Trike Talk Family. I did not get a chance to speak to Ed about going on line to chat with us. I will wait until I am allowed to visit again.

In the meantime, the family greatly appreciates the thoughts and prayers from the Trike Talk Family.

Ed's family sends sincere thanks to The Trike Family for plans to initiate a GO FUND ME page link.

Ed's family will be posting a GO FUND ME PAGE on a yet to be determined social media site. At that time, we will provide a link to that page.

Dave, glad to hear how well Ed is doing! Thanks for the new address and the link to the Go Fund Me page!

 

[Papa Zook]

I just received a call from Ed's daughter Kelly and she asked that we please remove the link to the GoFundMe page and post this message from her:

From Kelly:

Hi all! I want to thank you all so much for your thoughts, prayers, cards and support, but when I told Dad that I had set up a GoFundMe page he was adamant that I take it down. Dad has found out that his insurance is covering everything and he will not be accepting donations. If you know dad, you will appreciate that we respect his wishes!

Thanks Randy for posting this as quickly as you did.

Well, we tried...:Shrug:

Unfortunately as Ed & his family will likely experience in time, insurance won't cover everything 100%, even though many claim they will. Main reason being that hospitals, doctors that attend to patients in hospitals, as well as rehab facilities don't always accept the caps that many insurance companies put in place for routine services. (those greedy baztids)

Anyhoo, hoping all goes well physically, mentally, and financially for Mr. Ed in his recovery.

My earlier offering still stands if anything changes...

I will notify Ed's daughter, Kelly, to keep an eye out for cards addressed to the old room number. If you put Ed's name on the envelope, he will receive it. This facility is small and provides exceptional one-on-one long term care.

Ed will receive all of his mail.

Thanks for the update David.

Did I dream that his daughter request the 'donation' request be pulled per Ed's request? If I'm wrong, someone please correct me. I cannot find that post.

You did not dream this. It is true.
