Administrators Ferrariman Posted December 4, 2017 Administrators Report Share Posted December 4, 2017 I have recently learned that our site owner Tim (Timm525) has been hospitalized with an infection that has gone to his heart. This past Tuesday, doctors installed a pump in his heart to provide the required blood flow that his ailing heart can't. Hopefully this LVAD pump will take over giving Tim's heart a chance to heal. This is a best case scenario. Tim has also been placed on a heart transplant list in case his heart does not heal. I was shocked to hear about this and still can't wrap my head around it all. How does a person go from being perfectly healthy a few months ago to having something like this happen?! Nobody knows how or why but it just shows us how life can change in an instant. A fund has been set up to help with Tim's medical expenses. Please donate generously! https://www.mylvad.com/content/what-lvad-how-does-it-work https://www.gofundme.com/tim-moreira-medical-fund 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miamijimf Posted December 4, 2017 Report Share Posted December 4, 2017 (edited) Awful news. I can't contribute a lot but Tim, if you are reading this, as I said in my message: I'm not that far away so please let me know if I can do anything for you. Even minor chores, whatever are OK.

Administrators Ferrariman Posted December 16, 2017 Author Administrators Report Share Posted December 16, 2017 Update: I'm happy to report that Tim is finally out of the hospital and staying with his brother. A step in the right direction but still just the first of many steps! Just remember, without Tim taking over the reigns from Chris there would be no miamiviceonline!

Just to clarify, the majority of the work was done by the two previous owners and the other admins. I'm just the gate keeper that pays the bills and holds the name. It is the others that deserve all the credit for this site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonny-Burnett Posted January 13, 2018 Report Share Posted January 13, 2018 Wow @timm525 I apparently missed this as I was not checking in for a number of weeks prior. Hope your recovery is well underway and wishing a very speedy full recovery for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
