Please help my son Wayland!

Hey guys I don't know how to put this into words without just stating what happened. On late Friday evening November 23rd, the day after Thanksgiving my youngest son Wayland was shot while attending a party. I was woken up with a knock at the door at approximately 12:30- 1:00 am. Being notified by some of his friends that he was rushed to the hospital. Obviously any parents worst nightmare. Well after calling the rest of the family, we all met at the hospital. Wayland was in having life saving surgery. After 5-6 hours of waiting the doctors came out to tell us Wayland was in critical condition in ICU and they would know better in the am his progress. Wayland was shot once in the stomach and the bullet had went through front and back of stomach and front and back of small intestines. The bullet narrowly missed his pancreas,aorta artery and grassed his left kidney. Once morning arrived he was taken in for a CAT scan to see the function of his kidney. The first good news we received was that his kidney would remain and that it was working properly. We were told it that Wayland would still remain in an induced coma state until they could close the incision. So from Saturday to Saturday Wayland had 3 surgeries while being in an induced coma. Finally on late Saturday Wayland was brought out slowly from the coma and is now looking like he will make a full recovery. We have been told Wayland will need at least 2 months of physical rehabilitation along with talking with a psychologists for the mental side of this tragedy. I'm asking if everyone who can help please donate anything you can to help with the medical bills my son will have do to this event. Every single dollar will help as I myself have been out of work since I was hurt back in 2008. I lost my insurance over 2 years ago from being a union plumber. I had to sign up my two youngest sons with government insurance which hardly will cover this expense. I've started a web page over at give forward.com and I'm having a beef n beer at my union hall to try and raise as much money as I can to help prepare for Waylands hospital bills and future rehabilitation. Anything anyone can contribute will surely help. Here's the link:

Thanks everyone for all your support. My family has been busy with taking care of our boy as of thursday the 6th they released Wayland from the hospital do to lack of insurance. (if I didn't get hurt and loose my Plumbers Union Insurance I'm sure he would still be taken care of in the hospital) So we have been taking care of the dressing of the wound and such. Wayland has been a real trooper how he's dealing with this ordeal. I have posted two separate links for donations and also if your local we are having a Beef N Beer to help raise some funds for my sons future health care. Wayland has been doing incredibly well in my opinion and now the therapy will begin both physical and mental. If you haven't seen the links and if you can spare anything at all it would be greatly appreciated as every dollar will go towards Wayland's Recovery. Here are the two links:

Thank you from the bottom of my heart,

Tim

PS: Just wanted to let everyone know Wayland is making great strides everyday and I truly believe your thoughts and prayers have helped my boy along.
Bless you all, Tim
