I've been trying to get to the computer all day but it didn't work out until now. So much has happened in the last 24 hours. Last night Steve went into surgery to undergo the tracheostomy. While in surgery, Dr. Hanpeter also removed the bullet from Steve's upper back along with additional debris. Both procedures went very well. Steve is looking better without the breathing tube in his mouth even though he's still on the ventilator.
The really big news is that Steve was moved today to USC University Hospital for which we are extremely grateful. We loved the staff and care Steven received at Holy Cross but in order to have the perfect team of plastic and oral maxillofacial surgeons, Steven had to go to USC. However, we were very lucky that Dr. Hanpeter also has priveleges at USC so he is still Steve's main doctor which we are very happy about. All things considered, we are feeling very relieved to be here at USC with a great team of doctors and a good treatment plan and we are optimistic about Steve's recovery.

Beth: I can't tell you enough how much I admire your strength and faith. You have been an inspiration to me and it has been a little easier on the Platoon to know how strong you are. You know how much Steve means to me. I love and respect Steve dearly. This has been devastating for me to see this happen to such a tremendous family. I know that with all the support and faith you have he will be stronger than ever. Thank you for letting me be there along side you, Robin and the family. It gives me strength to see him everyday. The Platoon misses his quick wit. We know once he is back with us we will all suffer his jokes. We can't wait. God Bless. Love you. See you tomorrow.

Beth, "Thank You" so much for posting these updates, it helps us so much with wondering what's goin on, without being to intrusive to your family. Steve is a "bulldog" of sorts and no doubt he's gonna pull throw this! I can't wait to see him up and back to being "Baby Gerber" as we affectionately use to call him at OWB CRASH!
My family's prayers are with you!!
