People Looking for Steve Keudell

[Update: Thursday morning Thai Time/Wednesday evening Oregon Time: I got the following messages. From Sue at the Stayton Area Relay for Life:

Those looking for information on Steve Keudell's condition can do so at: http://stevekeudell.blogspot.com Thank you!

Rebecca sends the same link and adds (dated 3pm Wed. March 18 Oregon Time:

This is the site for Steven's family blog. Steven is undergoing 8-12 hours of extensive surgery today (3/18) and can use all the prayers he can get. Hope this helps! ~Rebecca

The latest update at that site (7:30pm Oregon time Wednesday) begins:

Steve was in surgery for approximately 8 hrs. today. His surgeon said "it went very well...like text book". They were able to complete the free flap with a skin graft to his head injury. The blood supply to that area after the surgery is looking great. He feels very good about how it all went.
You can get the whole report at the link above.

I've had trouble connecting, or I would have had this up sooner. Here's hoping for Steve's (we Steve's have to stick together you know) full recovery.]




I'm not sure why they are getting here, but I've had several people today get to this site looking up Steve Keudell. So I googled to find out why the interest. Here's a short article I found. You might be able to get more current news through the link to Capital Press.


Farmer hospitalized after power-line accident
Steven Keudell, a farmer in Turner, Ore., remains in critical but stable condition after serious burns and head trauma in a tree-trimming accident.

Keudell is being treated at Emanuel Hospital in Portland, where he is to undergo surgery Monday afternoon.

According to Turner Fire Chief Kevin Henson, Keudell was on a tractor working to remove tree limbs on Thursday, March 12, when a branch fell onto a power line, bringing the live wires down on top of him.


Steve, get well soon. Working with an organization that helps Thai farmers, I'm sure they all wish you well too.

[Update: It's Wednesday in Thailand Tuesday evening in Oregon: A fair number of people are getting here looking for news. I'm in Thailand and don't even know Steve. So if anyone knows where there is another website or other place to get current news, or if they have more current news, please leave a comment or email me and I'll post it.][I've fixed the email link, so try it again. Sorry.]

  1. Computer is finally back from a wine-spill repair... yes, a wine spill that we have all been warned about.

    Good to see it doesn't take Facebook, Twitter or whatever else (arghhh) to keep in touch through 'social networks' -- just an old-fashioned blog! Amazing.

    Kinda makes me wish my name was Steve.
