Jesse Phibbs moved to London hospital - Benefit this weekend
Jesse Phibbs was moved from Indianopolis to Victoria Hospital in London on Friday, September 17. “They took him off ventilation yesterday. He breathed on his own all day. That’s the first time that’s happened in three weeks,” said Jesse’s father Matt Phibbs. “There’s not a lot of change, the swelling is going down... the bone flap is still off because the brain is too swollen,” he added. “We’re hoping he’s in a coma to give his brain a rest,” he said. “We really appreciate ev-
erything that people have done. All the Facebook notes and those on flattrack.com have really helped. We read them all to him and I know he hears us,” said Matt. Kevin Ford, of the Erie Ramblers, said the group wanted to help Jesse and his family and show their support. “We’re going to have a barbecue on Saturday and a practice or exhibition on the Sunday.” On Saturday, a steak BBQ by Faubert Meats will be held at Erie Ramblers Motorcycle Club (2205 Deer Run Road). Doors open at 4
p.m. and dinner is at 6 p.m. Bring a lawn chair and enjoy the local entertainment by Pier Road Band, Crossroads and Jim Heyens. Tickets are $20 each and can be picked up in Wheatley at: Southpoint Sun/The Wheatley Journal, Jack’s Coffee Shop, Bowman’s Feeds and the Wheatley Arena. In Leamington, tickets can be purchased at: Leamington Home Hardware on Erie Street North. For more information or to buy a ticket you can call Kevin Ford at 519-919-0305.
