~Benefits for my dad~

My father has such a strong support system that it's unbelieveable.  Word of his attack spread quickly through the community, and it wasn't long before a newspaper article was put out, and his friends were planning benefits to help with his extensive Medical bills. We had a website put together to explain what happened in order to help with the many calls we were recieving daily.  The website is listed below, and it has given friends and family somewhere to go as sort of a tribute to my father. 
 
Many people have asked, "Where is the kid who did this?" Well, I am happy to say that he is in jail after running for the first 10 days.  At his bond hearing, the judge denied bail.  There is an extensive trial ahead of us that will begin in July, but at least for now, this kid is off the streets. We have so much to be thankful for, but most of all, my father is alive and survived this awful attack.  I stayed with him until 5/25, and it broke my heart to leave him after almost losing him. The whole DelMonte family came together through this and we all were there for my father.  The reality is that although he has challenges to face, he is ok now and my Aunt Betty & Uncle Greg whom he is staying with are great.  My children needed me to come home, and my dad was well taken care of, so I decided to come home in time for Mad & Kalem's B-day's.  I have to commend my husband Scott for staying with all the kids in Bakersfield for 5 weeks, while I left to care for my father.  Please check out the pictures that show how loved my dad is!

~Making Progress~

The Road to Recovery
April & May 2008
 
047049033036038043047051My dad is doing much better.  He spent the first two weeks in the hospital, and then moved to an acute rehab center to focus on physical, occupational, and speech therapy.  Just a few days ago, he was released and is now an outpatient at the rehab facility.  My dad had part of his skull removed to give his brain room to swell.  This procedure saved his life. In addition to his skull fracture, his right leg was broken in 2 places.  In October, my dad will have a titanium plate put over the gap in his skull.  Until then, he is required to wear a protective helmet to cover his skull.  My dad is doing extremely well considering the circumstances, but he still has to relearn to do many things.  This is where his extensive rehab comes in.

daddad2011016021025044I was on a plane to Virginia IMMEDIATELY following the phone call that my dad was in ICU fighting for his life.  I spent 5 weeks in Virginia by my dad's bedside.  Seeing him go through this was the hardest thing that I have ever done.  My father is a great person and an excellent father and I please ask for your prayers to help our family through this difficult time.  The following link is the website for my father.......... http://www.mnjgroup.com/help4kim.htm
