damn horrible news..get well soon brother, positive vibes to you and the fam bigdayComment -
Just threw in $500 for them fam....this is crazy. God speed to everyone involvedComment -
Bills can go really deep with stuff like this
You figure 10K a day and he's been in the hospital 5 or 6 days already
Something like this could easily go to the $500K range by the time he rehabs
If they have insurance they still will be out of pocket 15-20K with the deductiblesComment -
This is terrible
Hard to enjoy anything with Bigday struggling
We want good news soon

It tells you enough of who Big Day is simply by him messaging each time I gave to Angelman . He would respond no matter the dollar amount and say Thank you . It's a simple gesture that goes a helluva long way regardless what some may think .
I get it if you don't want to help fund him but no reason in asking questions , bad mouthing someone who's literally fighting for their life right now out of nowhere . I'm seen some sick ass things said about a guy , out of nowhere , fighting to live to see tomorrow , you need to rethink life if you have that mindset .
Hopefully he can pull through this , every little bit helps when something catastrophic happens .Comment -
I'm positive. I've donated. I'm praying but it's impossible not to shed a tear.Comment -
how about a "sticky" for this thread?? Keep it at the top of every forum/sub-forum. We as a community need to support the family hereComment -

Just seeing this, get well soon bigday!Comment -
What negativity? Is it wrong to question whether he has health insurance or not? Can I be worried about this?
If I had to choose to which poster I would have to donate my life to in order to save theirs. Big Day would be first choice.
The irony of your reply. Couple times now you replied to my posts. Each time it was negative.Comment -
Fuk man, this is weighing on me so much. I just saw the guy, smiling as we always see on SBR, less than one week ago, but it seems like yesterday.
Excellent response on gofundme, never mind the comments. They will reach their goal, we will make sure of it.Comment -
Come on guys
For once , for the love of God , stop the back and forth bitching .
There's a good guy with his life on the line here , go start another thread where any of you can destroy the other one .

Next Steps
Journal entry by Mindy McBride — 1 hour ago
Good morning!
Last night went well. Andy broke his fever around 11:00pm and was taken off the hydro blanket protocol. Andy was able to remain stable with his oxygen, heart rate and blood pressure with medical therapy and an induced coma. The ICU team just completed rounds and they are continuing to look at other options- they are testing for West Nile and Tick Borne diseases. Although they are continuing to look for answers they will still remain with the treatment for guillain barre syndrome. Today, Andy should start plasmamapheresis (Plasmapheresis is a process in which the liquid part of the blood, or plasma, is separated from the blood cells. The plasma will be treated and then returned to his body) and be removed from the IGIV medical treatment. The doctors are tweaking his oxygen due to his blood draw and trying to keep his blood pressure stable with meds. They are also treating him for pneumonia as he as a small portion they are concerned about in one of his lungs, this will help to be proactive as well. Today they will lighten up his sedation to see how he is doing, test his strength and then they will put him back under.
The Neuro team was in as well and spoke about how bad his nervous system is and how he remains in critical care. They spoke about the cardio team following his heart due to the arrhythmia that is effecting his blood pressure. When we start the plasmamapheresis we will remain cautious of his heart function.
He will also be tubal fed today! Andy is a foodie so I am sure he will be excited for the amazing hospital food! Well on a lighter note, I did have an amazing hospital brisket yesterday, I mean it wasn't as good as Andy's but for hospital food it was good!
We are praying to find all the answers to what is causing his medical conditions. His condition is more complex than a 'typical' case of GBS Guillain Barre Syndrome and multiple teams are working together to help get him healthy.Comment -
Thanks Cinci for posting the update.
It's a precarious time.Comment
