Steve Dillman back in the hospital

This is from Caring Bridge, Frosty posted it tonight.
Sunday, November 9. 2008
Hi everyone. Last night and this morning did not go well. Steve was up most of the night and not feeling well at all. I tried to give him some meds and he was sick within minutes. I called the doctor and he instructed me to bring Steve back to the hospital. This time, Beech Grove, St. Francis for admission.
Steve has lost another 5 pounds since Friday. He cannot keep anything down and is in a lot of pain. For now, they are working on getting his system straightened out before they even attempt any nutrition. They currently have him down getting an ultrasound on his legs. There is some concern about blood clots.
We will be here a few days. He is very weak and in need of more medical assistance that Nurse Frosty has to offer, I'm afraid. We are in room 468.
Please continue to pray for us. I know that this is all part of God's plan, but I am so frightened at times.
I know that I scared alot of family members today. But really everyone....I AM OK. I just need for Steve to get better. Thank you all for you support. It looked liked Sunday afternoon at ORP in this hospital today, overloaded by Dillmans. I love you all.
Love, Frosty

Steve is a great guy and racer please send emails to him for support

His email is..steve.dillman@sbcglobal.net

Stay strong Steve and Frosty we are all thinking about you..

Hello everyone. First, the ultrasound came back negative for any blood clots. Good News!
Now we have a plan. They started a slow drip feed today. If that works for 24 hours, then they will go to the bolus feeding tomorrow for 24 hours. If he is able to tolerate that, then we may go home Wednesday.
Right now he is where he needs to be and where I need him to be. We will get this all under control soon.
Thank you all for all your help, support, notes, calls, love and prayers. It not only takes a village to raise a child, it takes a village to care for those in need.
And, thank you Melissa, for reminding me to smile.
Love, Frosty

To Steve & Frosty....

I've yet to meet either of you, but I've been following Steve's battle here on Class Racer. I want you to know both of you are in my sincere thoughts and prayers. Although not nearly the magnitude, I fully understand and feel for you since I've lived through past medical issues with immediate family (both my daughter and my late sister).

On the up side I'd like to pass a note to Steve.. for the past 18 years that I've attended the Moroso 5 day race I always looked forward to seeing Steve's Nova and his "trademark" bumper dragging wheelstands. The next time you're down here in So Fla I'll make a point to introduce myself in person (Steve...you're gonna make it...stay strong!!).

Nowone knows God's plan, but he has provided a very special gift that gets us through trying times...great memories.
