Our boy isn't done fighting yet! Just got word from his bro, here it is:

"Still hanging in there, rough first part of the night but better for the rest of the night"

That's great news, people!

What makes this thing so confusing to me is , I know Steve had been on a major health kick these past few years....and he looked great. He was pretty hard core into the Paleo diet and had mentioned numerous times how he was always getting his blood work done and so forth.....and everything looked exceptionally well for a guy his age. This was after he had lost all the weight. He said he felt better than ever just up to a couple months ago. That's what's confusing.....is how could they possibly miss something? ( his physicians ) It is a real bummer because I know how hard he worked at trying to be healthy. Hang in there Steve.

Thanks for updating Bauer. Here is some background and another status.

Bruhn is still with us this morning and that is a good sign. Bruhn had two massive heart attacks. He was in a Memphis hospital for a routine procedure and not on telemetry when he had the first attack. Nobody knows how long he was down before they found him. He was moved to a hospital more equipped to handle this type of care. He was there when the second one hit him. They found two very serious blockages and put in stints and put him on a ventilator (which has since been removed). Because he was down due to the first attack and nobody knows for how long, there was some other significant damage. If he does make it thru this, there is a good chance he may need a transplant.

Mike (his Brother) and Rhonda (sis-in-law) are there in ICU with him. Rhonda is a retired cardiac nurse so she is very familiar with this type condition. He is in great hands.

Like MXeditor said...one hour at a time. All of your prayers and positive thoughts must be making a difference....because while all this may sound bad, he is still with us!!

When my little company started, and no one knew who we were, Steve treated me with respect and as equal to everyone else in the industry, no ego, no hierarchy. He offered us the opportunity to make a name for ourselves, by sponsoring his news section of his website (cheap) and calling it "The Engine Ice Daily News," it helped put us on the map, and Steve offered it to us first, and though many other companies tried to take it from me by offering Steve more money, he was loyal, because I took the risk with him on his new idea, and he never wavered. I finally let it go, because the money was too good for him to not be allowed it, but he wanted to make sure I was ok with it first. You don't see too much equal treatment and loyalty in MX, much less the world. I think how small the world really is, and how fragile our time on this earth is. I am glad I got to see Steve at the MXoN in Lommel a few months back, he looked good and seemed the happiest I'd ever seen him. I am glad I got to see and talk to my friend. We need more people like, TFS.

So, c'mon Steve, keep going.

That's exactly it, I spoke to Mike this morning. As much as Steve is fighting, it's coming all down to quality of life, his body is fighting yes, but Steve himself is not, his heart is damaged, his stomach is damaged, and possibly his brain is damaged. They won't know yet, but the window is closing, 48 hours seems to be the magic number and we are up to 36 or so. Keep Steve in your thoughts and prayers. I have been collecting the emails that people have been sending and will get those to Steve's family. Mike and I also talked about the Tennessee National, regardless of the outcome he thought Steve's Moto-Family should all meet there to celebrate TFS. OH and Steve's Birthday is this Friday ! Wish him a Happy Birthday ~
