Lets Help Brian!
Donation protected
On January 30th, Brian Poulisse was just working a normal job for one of his clients when he suddenly fell off a ladder. He was at least 10 feet up installing some internet pods in a car dealerships service department when the ladder began to slip and he fell backwards. Brian hit his head on a car lift and then shattered his elbow at the base where the car lift is bolted into the cement floor. Thanks to the amazing service technicians, they were at Brian's side, helping him and calling for an ambulance within seconds of the accident.
He was rushed to Saint Anthony Hospital where he received four staples in his head and they rolled him back to the Operating Room to clean up his arm to prevent infection. During that procedure they were able to get a close look at the damage. Sure enough, his elbow was completely shattered and the arm was broken just above the elbow as well.
They wouldn't even schedule the surgery to rebuild his elbow until the swelling had dissipated. So Brian stayed in the hospital and finally by Februrary 5th, he was taken into a 7 hour surgery to piece together all of the fragments in his right elbow. The doctors feel that the surgery went well, however, he did lose part of the elbow joint due to such severe damage. Brian was released to go home on February 8th and has been doing everything the doctors suggest to have the best recovery possible.
We are asking for any size donations to help with all of the medical bills surrounding this horrible accident. Brian and Carrie do not have health insurance at this time and will be paying for all expenses out of pocket.
As most people know, Brian is the sole proprietor of Mobile Computer Service of Rockford. He is so grateful to his clients for their understanding and patience as he has had to cut way back on work due to the accident and limitations that come with not being able to use his right arm. His family has stepped in to help with driving him everywhere and with jobs he cannot physically do at this time.
