Prayers for Jeremy Waibel
 

This is a message so that our racing family knows what is going on and can offer up prayers.

Jeremy was hospitalized at Lakeland Regional Medical Center in Lakeland Florida with a Staph infection under his left arm. Since he has been the hospital it has turned in MRSA. He is currently on heavy antibiotics, and he will be having surgery on Monday to cut and drain the site. Since he has been in the hospital, he has had two more sites under his right arm that have appeared. We have been struggling with blood pressure being to low as well as his pulse has been hovering in the 50's.

We also have some issues regaurding a possible blood clot in his right arm. They did an ultrasound yesterday and we should know something later today about that. As soon as I have more info I will post it here so that you all can be kept up to date.

This will by no means affect any of the plans at the track, in his absence I am setting up all the things that we have started, with his input of course. Hopefully he will be up and going shortly.... please keep our family in your prayers.


Thanks

Jeremy get well soon. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Sorry I
missed last Saturday night we had an air bag problem on the racecar. You know how a
busted rubber can cause problems (lol). From what I hear the race track is going in the
right direction and I am glad to hear that. How, I just need to get off my butt this morning
and repair my racecar. See ya at the track.

Well - they have definitivly said that Jeremy does have a blood clot in his right arm. They do not feel that he needs to be on blood thinner such as coumadin as of this minute, so they are dosing it with massive amount of asprin. We continue on antibiotics and we await surgery that will take place on Monday.
Luckily we have a connection to the internet here in the hospital, so when he is awake Jeremy is checking out class racer and working on the race in March.
We are both very grateful for the love and support of our fellow racers, and look forward to being back with you all as soon as possible.

MRSA is bad news...it's a dangerous form of staph bacteria ,which stands for Methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus. It resists some of the more common antibiotics used to treat many infections.
A local 6 year old is in the hospital fighting this infection.....he was full of energy in the morning and in the hospital that afternoon.
GET WELL JEREMY...................
