Update

Hey guys, I haven't posted any updates because I assume most of you are getting info from Lee's facebook, but for the ones who aren't:

Lee's home in Birmingham with his mom. I talked to him Saturday and he said he is feeling much better but is still week from being posted up for two weeks. He said everytime he eats he gets more energy.

On another note thanks for all the donations, I think last time I check we had well over $600.00 thats's just awesome!

If anything changes I'll let everyone know.

Peace,
Ben

Whoa

Over $500.00 keep it coming peeps, I'd love to present Lee with a $1000.00 check at his fundraiser!!

Lee may be getting out of the hospital today!

Thanks for the contributions

Guys thanks for the contributions!! We have almost $600 in his paypal.

Some of you are wondering why you can't see the money. I am waiting to verify the account info and this takes up to a week. Once I get the account verified I will be able to accept the contributions.

I just got off the phone with paypal and she confirmed that the 7th of Sept will be when I can confirm the account.

Thanks, and Keep it coming!!

UPDATE:
I know a lot of you has seen Lee's messages on facebook, but for the ones that haven't here whats going on.

After a minor set back on Sunday, Lee is doing better. He was moved on Monday to another floor and out of ICU!! He had his permanent pacemaker put in yesterday and his in great spirits. The man really fought his ass off and for sure my hero!

If you have any questions again you can email me at leemeansisourhero@gmail.com

Peace!!

It's time to start helping out!!

ok guys, so here's a bit of other bad news.

When this tragedy happened Lee was in transition to a new job. This left Lee without health insurance. I'm sure everyone knows just how expensive medical bills can be. Lee has been in the hospital now since Saturday 08/21/2010 with several procedures and had to fly in a helicopter to Vanderbilt. This as you might imagine is going to be super pricey.

I am right now setting up a paypal account and a facebook page for Lee so that we can start donating any money we can to help our friend and brother out.

Also, we are planning a fundraiser in Chatty for sometime around the end of September. This is gonna be a blowout with live music and drink ect. I'll let everyone know more as we work out the details. Please try and remember to check back in for updates as we really need to make this thing big. Lee needs our help!

If anyone has any questions or wants to start helping out you can email me at LeeMeansIsOurHero@gmail.com

Thanks

Irene Means

Irene (Lee's mom) has called me to express her deepest appreciation for all the love you guys are spreading about Lee. She asked me to let everyone know that she is incredbly touched by the each and everyone of you, and is amazed and extremely proud of the type of people Lee has chosen to call his friends.

Guys and Gals, please keep these messages coming via Facebook, this blog, text if you want I can pass word along, which I've been doing, just keep them coming until he is home and chillin.

Thanks,

Ben

Still Fighting

So after a few minor set backs yesterday, it appears Lee is doing better!

This just in from Julie:

"I am in the room with him right now and they say his heart is doing GREAT! They are going to keep him intubated today so his heart can heal as much as possible. The doctors sound very promising :) he looks good! They said 'you have a fighter on your hands, you better watch out'. Ha! It's True. Love this Kid!"

Keep the good vibes and prayers coming his way!!

Stay Tuned,
Ben
