April 21 Update

We know you are all on pins and needles waiting for this update. Here is what we know so far.

First, Jenny got news today that her mom in Florida was in the hospital with a respiratory illness. The good news is that mom is doing great! We know God is only giving Jenny what she can handle up to this point, but we all pray that Jenny only receives great news from this point forward.

Keith is slowly getting weaned off of his sedation. He is still heavily medicated and not awake. Today, the nurse got Jenny and told her she had to come with her to Keith’s room to see something. The nurse told Keith to raise his left foot. Keith did not respond. The nurse then said “Your wife is here, raise your left foot”. With out hesitation, Keith then moved his left foot (I wonder who really wears the pants in their house? With Jenny in the room, Keith listens!). This is spectacular news as he is making progress. As with most injuries, healing takes time. Keith is progressing well and we are all thankful for this progression.

Jenny has obviously been inundated with calls and we are sure it is difficult to repeat his progress with each call she receives. As such, we are providing Jenny with a laptop to keep up on responses you make on Keith’s blog while keeping each of you informed during this very busy time for Jenny and family. She is resting as much as anyone could possibly rest under these circumstances.

Many of you have asked “HOW CAN I HELP?” We have received some excellent suggestions that we are going to share with you. Jenny as well as the entire family (Keith’s mother, brothers, daughter, family, loved ones, closest friends) are eating out in and around the hospital Keith is staying at, St. Mary’s Medical Center in Long Beach. We figure eating out as well as the fuel costs to travel back and forth from San Bernardino County quickly adds up. As such, we are recommending that gift cards are provided for restaurants or for fuel stations. Area restaurants include:

§ Roscoe’s House of Chicken and Waffles (ONE of Keith’s favorites)

§ Chili’s Restaurant

§ Outback Steakhouse

§ Denny’s

§ PF Changs

§ Bubba Gump Shrimp Company

§ Yard House

§ Kings Fish House

§ El Torito

§ Lucille’s BBQ

§ Hof’s Hut


Chicken and Waffles??? We look forward to having Chicken and Waffles with Keith very soon. Please send Gift Cards to:

Bowers Ambulance

Attn: HR - Keith MacLellan

3355 E. Spring Street Suite 301

Long Beach, CA 90806


We will deliver cards as they arrive to the family.

Please continue to pray for continued progress for Keith’s recovery as well as prayer for Jenny’s mom, Jenny and the entire family. We will provide another update tomorrow.
