Buck's new update
1pm Monday: he has developed a fever, they have him on ice cooling. They have ran cultures to check for infection but it could just be a brain response. About 60-70% of the right side of the brain is swelling. They have added back 1 of the sedation drugs to help him relax and breathe easier. They did say it is common to get worse before he gets better.

730pm Monday: Not much of an update, which is good at this point. Fever is gone. Waiting on cultures to see what caused it. Will update more in the morning as long as things are quiet tonight .

Hoping that Buck pulls through this ordeal. If he does, he will have a long road of recovery.

The Chevelle community and Facebook community have really rallied together for this man. Buck has always talked about getting rid of his 2.73 rearend and getting something a little more peppier. Well his dreams are coming true with help of his many friends. There is now a new gear set, a posi unit, axels and voluntary people that are going to install everything. There is also extra money that will be set aside for his bills. Also, his vacation and trip to NOCC in Strongsville, Ohio is all taken care of.

Its all in God's hands to take care of him.

He is still in our prayers .A co worker of mine who is 79 years old just recently had an anurism at work and was flown to Atlanta for emergency surgery .We celebrated her 40th anniversary of working here yesterday with her and her family and she is doing very well now so there is a lot that prayer can do.

Yayyyyyy ��.... Buck Mercer update
5pm Tuesday: Nothing major today which is exactly what we prayed for. The lungs are having a bit of a tough time but that is pretty expected. CT from the morning was as the doc expected. So all in all not a bad day.

Buck Mercer update
12pm Wednesday: his lungs declined last night and his body is not getting the oxygen it needs. They were unable to do the daily brain scans because he was too unstable to move. They have put him on a paralytic to hopefully help aid in the lungs healing. His legs were clear for blood clots and we are waiting on the CT of the head and chest checking for blood clots. He is back in his room and getting hooked back up to everything.
