There is already a bunch of fundraisers out there for him. I guess all the Illinois OTB's are having something either next weekend of this weekend where you can make a bunch of bets and put them into a container, and all the winners go into a fund, plus the OTB or track will match all the losers. Pretty cool idea for such a bad situation

NONE better than Northwestern for spinal cord and brain injuries. He's got the best of the best working on him at least in this city..... and watch for Mr. D to step up big time he always does. Miraculous recoveries have taken place hoping the best for AP's top jock.

They have isolated a level for where his recovery will be first felt which means some of the nerve conduction studies are giving them reason for optimism. A great job by those who know how to handle a complex and difficult case like this one........that team is first rate.

I had my gall bladder surgery at Northwest Community, the first hospital he was taken to, and the only way I was going to be happy was not being in there, but all in all, I was really happy with how I was treated, and my parents told everyone that I was treated with the utmost care

I would think that your best chance at raising some dough would be at Arlington. I know every year at Monmouth they have a weekend (I think July 4th) for the Don MacBeth fund and they sell all kinds of cool racing items for the fund. Plus the jocks are always good about signing the things.

However, I'm very glad to read this report while still a little concerned about the ventilator issue. Oh, and if they do this Belmont day and match my losers Rene will be OK. Just went back to my previous link to see if maybe I missed something and this was on the home page: http://www.nmh.org/nmh/mediarelation...s.htm?cid=3266

You'll also find that wealthy patients choose quality of care over comfort when sick or injured. A comfortable place for them to go and die is home whether it be primary or a vacaton home. If comfort was the first priority, Lake Forest Hospital would be tops in the nation.

Natalie Douglas' Rene Update on HRTV Today
NETWORK: HORSERACING TV (HRTV)
DATE: THURSDAY, MAY 28 SHOW: "RACEDAY AMERICA" HOSTS: SCOTT HAZELTON & CAROLYN CONLEY GUEST: NATALIE DOUGLAS, WIFE OF SERIOUSLY INJURED JOCKEY, RENE DOUGLAS SUBJECT: UPDATE ON RENE DOUGLAS' CONDITION Natalie Douglas: "As you well know he had problems with his back, where he has some fractures...and he had several broken ribs. Which makes it a little bit hard for him to breathe on his own. They're draining his lungs on a daily basis... He's fine, he's very strong in the upper part of his body. His mind is clear, he's sharp. He's Rene at his best. He gets mad when he wants to get mad; he's happy, cranky. And he communicates with us. Whatever he wants, he wants to get it now. As for his legs? It's too early to tell. The doctors are very hopeful because his spinal cord was not severed. For people to assume he's paralyzed, I don't know where they're coming from. Right now, yes, he cannot feel them. But that doesn't mean that this is permanent. "It means that he had a very long surgery; a very difficult surgery, that was a success. They are waiting for the swelling to come down to see what happens. But, as I said earlier, Rene's such a strong person, and he's so determined, that it's in his mind and he will get it done. But, again, he will be Rene. "My concern about these rumors, and reports, is that I have children, that are school age. They go online, and they read things. I don't want my 9-year-old to come up to me and tell me that his friends are telling him that his dad is paralyzed. Because that's not the case...we have a great team of surgeons, doctors, ICU personnel, nurses. The management of the hospital has been great...They are doing a fantastic job with him. I want to thank the people who have sent their best wishes, and prayers, and support...that's what we need right now, positive energy, and prayers. And we're going to come out of this fine." ON THE ORIGINAL BLEAK PROGNOSIS, FROM AGENT DENNIS COOPER, AFTER SPEAKING WITH THE SURGEONS. HAS OPINION CHANGED? Natalie Douglas: "I think that there was a lot of miscommunication between a lot of people...I think thoughts were not expressed the proper way. I think probably what it was, it was too early to tell. They're saying, 'as of now,' he can't feel his legs and not move them. As of now. Doctors have said from the very beginning, from the moment of the surgery, was they have to give this time. It may be two weeks, or more, when the swelling is down. As you know, each body is different. And the extent of his injuries all over his body... he has a bunch of broken ribs, and he suffered two punctured lungs. So, we need to give his body time to relax. Time to heal. And once that happens, then we will know, or at least get a better idea, of what's going to happen with his legs. But, he's very strong, and his mind is in the right place...It's just the game of waiting right now. I know people are frustrated, and they want to know. They want to know now...It's his body, and we have to wait and give him time. I think it was more a miscommunication than anything else."
