The total is currently over 2000 between both of the fundraisers, I think the goal is 6000.

UPDATE FROM QUICKGLOVES
Update 14: Today Weston has had three major things done. First was the Transfer from one form of ventilator to another. He is currently unable to breath on his own due to the amounts of morphine that he is receiving.
Secondly they transferred a line from his stomach to his arm to in order to give him more nutrients. They attempted to give him a pick line which will go directly to his heart, but they were unsuccessful.
Third thing is currently going on as I write this. They are giving my son a spinal Tap. I am very nervous about this. Terrified is a better word. In hope the doctors want to test for meningitis. They want it to come back negative so they don't have to treat as long with antibiotics. The longer they treat for infection the less nutrition Wes is getting. THe sooner they can stop treatment for infection the faster they can give him what he needs.
His kidneys are still not showing improvement but he is still able to control dangerous levels in his blood without much support. He is swollen with edema still because he isn't urinating properly.
I have to now show my thanks to all of you. I have seen 2 charity collections for my family. As it stands Mandy an I are out of work to be with are son. He could be here for months an I would not care. The fact that you have all come to support us with prayers an thoughts was good enough for me. Now you have all reached into your hearts an sent physical support. The money that you have collected is going to support are stay in Philadelphia so we can be here for are son. I tearfully thank you all.
I am working with agencies to postpone collections on many bills due to the current state of things an all your help is so appreciated.
SVER you guys are showing the world why we say we are family. Video gamers around the world are chastised day in an day out for being outcast or socially awkward. You who may have never met me or been an enemy in a online world have shown tremendous support to us. The flowers the money the gifts. We are the Brotherhood. I love you guys. An to all the dusties reaching out TY.
To my family an friends You have seen us in are lowest hour an worked to keep us hopeful. Everyday that passes is a day We cherish. Every moment i have to look at my son is a moment i would never trade. Weston does not know how fortunate he is to have such a family in real life or in the online gaming world. Thousands of you have messaged me with prayers an wishes, support an love. I never imagined this much support. I hope that Weston's story touches lives of people that see this years from now. Every birthday Wes has I will re-read all of this. As each day goes my hope grows.
As each moment passes my breathing grows steady. My family is in a very rough spot, but with all of you helping us an sending us rays of hope an prayers full of love this journey is by no means easy but you are all making it a lot smoother.
With a most sincere appreciation My family Thanks you so much! |

Update 16 : 10/5 7:18 pm
Weston was doing well for about 36 hours. He had been switched successfully from an oscillator to a ventilator. His morphine drip was reduced an he began to move again. His counts were also holding steady. This morning his labs were not the best. He had to have yet another transfusion. His 14th to be exact. They began to change his anti-biotic. They want to try an give him more nutrition, but are unable to because his kidneys are still not working properly an the amount of anti-biotic is keeping the doctors hands bound because of his fluid limit.
Now I am no man of false hope I fully understand Weston is sick. However I feel that I must share with you the few moments of joy that I share with Mandy an Weston in the days that we spend together.
Today Weston was moving an trying to open his eyes. He was fighting his battle an I could see it as I stared down at him. Every move he made you could see his tenacity. He actually managed to breath over the ventilator a few times today. Every beep that machine made was like a surge of energy for Mandy and I. A sign of hope way off in the distance.
Mandy an I were blessed with the support of are cousins today. They stood by us these last 2 days giving us support through love an comedy. You guys kept us focused on the good things. An we thank you for being here.
A women came to Mandy an I at the hospital the other day. She offered words of encouragement. she handed Mandy and I a Guardian angel medal an a prayer. Mandy an I have been praying to Weston's guardian angel now every day and we will continue every day for as long as we both live. Wes, you are a beacon of light an hope for all of us.
The war is far from won, But today even with the transfusion, and changes made to antibiotics, it was a good day. Wes every day you fight to be with us is a good day an I will never take that for granted. Thank you for being in my life. |

Update 17: Weston opened one eye today! He looked over at Mandy an I.
I was lost for words. Mandy cried an spoke to him softly. She about crushed my hand from squeezing it. I was over-whelmed with pride. Wes an I shared only a brief gaze together. It was worth it. Every moment spent by his bed every time i startled myself awake to check on him from the metal chair i sit in next to his bed. Just to get that moment between us. A moment where he knew I was here for him. I sent a picture to my brothers an mother one of them can post it my phone is not smart enough!
Yesterday the doctors for a second time failed a procedure known as a spinal tap. It consist of them inserting a needle into the spine an drawing a fluid they can test for a infection. They intend to send my son to a radiology department to use equipment to guide the pick line hopefully tomorrow. All in all he is doing good today. Urine output is about the same so he is still able to keep the dangerous levels in his blood low. They are again changing his nutrients to increase the amount they can give him an optimize the nutrients. It was nice today for Mandy an I to spend some alone time with him an actually have him move an react to are voices. He is strong very strong. His ability to give us so much joy is amazing.
Weston Good job today Mommy an Daddy love you so much!
I have been flooded with text messages emails an letters of love from all of you. I again Thank you all so much for everything. I have to draw attention to something that I have of pride in. The family of gamers that i play online with have gone above an beyond to support me. They view me as family friend an even in game enemy. Here is a thread of all of them showing support. A brief insight to my hidden world of online gaming.

those of us, like his clanmates or people who are closer to this family have more details, videos and interaction with them, friends and family and will tell you thank you for the support.
Also, shame on you Vethosis. |
