PINNACLE BUSINESS CAPITAL

Pinnacle Business Capital is the name of our business and we provide financing to small and large companies looking for capital equipment. Examples are a restaurant adding a new stove, fitness company adding a new tread mill, a hospital adding a new CT Scan, the federal government adding new computers to the social security administration, a school adding on a new wing and needs desks and chairs, a farmer needing a new John Deer tractor or accounting software for a Doctors office. Yes it is just about anything a business would purchase. In this economy businesses need help and the banks are not being very helpful. My company has the lending ability to help all forms of companies from small mom and pop organizations to large companies like IBM, federal government, schools, municipalities and non profit companies. All of these entities burrow money every day and need my type of services to survive.

I would like to graciously ask that I get the opportunity to be a subject of conversation to your employer, purchasing agent, owner, friend anyone that may be a potential person that I could help by providing the best that my industry has to offer. I am confident in my products and services and I will treat every opportunity with utmost respect and professionalism. The truth is Michele and I do need help and my business is the only way I see it fair to ask for that help. I am good at what I do and can prove it and would like the opportunity to do so. My web site and business email is below and will be posted on www.miraclemichele.blogspot.com .

I am also interested in new sales representatives. This position is a commission only job that can be done from a home office therefore anyone with sales experience would qualify and would need to send me their resume by email.

UPDATE 8/27

7 months today! I really had thought we would be in our home stretch at this point in time but for some reason God has decided otherwise. I guess I will understand his plan eventually but for now we continue to fight to keep Michele in a positive direction. It is hard not knowing what to expect, no prognosis, no case studies to compare to and no real direction to follow. I continue to have Faith, Hope and Love to fight this battle and that will never go away. Michele had her CT scan today and everything went well. I will get the results early next week and I expect to have her shunt adjusted one way or another. I have the disk of the scan and I have gotten good at looking at the scans to know that her left ventricles are a little large. So I suspect that the doctor will adjust her from 180 to 170 but what do I know. They could do the opposite and honestly I will be fine with either way as all I want is progress in either direction. That means we could possibly go in the wrong direction but we will learn from it and change it in a matter of time. This is expected and it could take some time to get it right. I just want to move on it and not sit still as usual. Michele had her trach taken out on Monday and it was as simple as taking off a band aid. It was 30 seconds and I actually watched her throat slowly close on its own to a pin point. We put a bandage over it for a day and now it is just a small wound with no bandage over it. In time you will barely notice she ever had it. Michele is experiencing some irritation in her throat due to this but this should only last a week and she should be fine.

I have finally been able to get back to work full time. Since I have been home I have only been able to work for a few hours a day due to the fact of helping Michele and dealing with the children and the new life we have without Michele around the house. I mentioned it a few emails ago but you really understand what your spouse really adds to your relationship when they are no longer around and I can tell you all that Michele was an incredible worker and always got the job done weather it was with the kids school, cooking for a fleet of kids and neighbors, handling business or being a wonderful wife and mother to her family. She was always on the go and always had things done without the need for help from others.

This brings me to a point that I would like to explain what Michele and I do for a living. For the past 19 years we have owned and operated a finance company that specializes in lending money to businesses. We lend money to companies that need new capital equipment or software. We started this business 1 month after we were married and just like most entrepreneurs we have gone through the good years and bad but we have always stuck with it and always prided ourselves in our service to our customers. I can tell you that while I ran the company as the president, Michele was our operations manager and one of the top sales representatives. This tragic event of course has put us in a serious financial crunch since both Michele and I work together and both of us have been a large factor in our company wide sales each and every year. Michele will never be able to work again and even if she could I do not think I want her to as I want her to spend her time healing and with her children. I would like the opportunity to explain in more detail what we offer to businesses in hopes that I can earn referrals. I do not expect any hand outs and I do expect to earn business in the proper form of proposals just like anyone else. However I would appreciate the opportunity as my company provides financing to all businesses therefore anyone that works for a living in America is a potential customer to us.

UPDATE 8/25

Thank you from the O'Donnell's

I would like to state again that I appreciate everything that everyone has done for my family and my wife Michele. Every card, well wishing, prayers, food, charitable donations, care giving, flowers, emails, child watching, car riding, church going, school attending, pat on the backs, phone calls, understandings, pictures, cd’s, places to stay, medical advice, airline tickets, visits to see Michele and many more that I cannot recall at this moment. My strength that so many speak of is only strong through the help of all the loving people that have been by my family’s side throughout this tragic moment in our lives. I am thankful for the friends and family that have continuously been there for Michele, my children and myself as well as the people that we don’t even know that have been a support through email and prayers that we receive everyday that mean so much. I am thankful to all the medical staff that has continuously taken care of Michele. My children have been through so much over the last 7 months. They have grown so much in this time and matured past their age due to this tragedy. They deserve much more than this in their lives and my only hope is for a blessing to be bestowed upon each of them as they truly deserve it. I am also thankful to God for giving my wife the strength and the will to fight this battle. I am most thankful to my wife for keeping her love of her family that continues to strengthen her. I am truly blessed to be her husband.

Wow! This came so fast. I was never expecting to have to grow up and take on so many responsibilities so fast. But I stepped up to the plate and did everything I could to make sure everything went smoothly for my self and my siblings. I can only hope I did well enough with my lack of experience. The main thing I have learned throughout this journey is that family is number one. Also, I abruptly found out that my parents are always right. I wish I would have learned this sooner so there wouldn’t have been so many stupid, pointless fights and at this point all I want is for my mom to come home and for her to tell me that she is not mad or she forgives me for all the things I have said that may have harmed her. I want to thank all the people who have thought about my mother and family during this hard time. Every single prayer, dinner, email and act of kindness means so much me and I know without all of your support, this all would be a lot harder. I love my mother and can not wait to have her back at home. Thanks again for everything. I am so grateful.

Love Billy

As all of you may know, at the most important time in my life I have lost the one person to help me through my teen age life, my mother, my friend, my sounding board. She is still with us but I have lost that daily relationship that I truly need from day to day. Reading emails and prayers, receiving cards and delicious food, and getting calls or text is very much appreciated. It truly does make a difference to know that so many people are here to support my family and my mother. Its very heart warming to know that my mother has touched so many people and I am very thankful for that. I want to thank all of you for putting in your time and effort to help us in anyway possible. Please keep following my mother throughout her journey and please keep the emails and prayers coming as they mean so much to me and my family.

Thank you!
Tana O’Donnell

This has defiantly been such a difficult time for me and my family. I can’t even begin to express my feelings for all of the things everyone has done for my family and my mother. Thank you all so much for helping us find our way through this storm! I will continue to stay strong and stand by my mother’s side.

Love,
Alyssa

My name is John John and I want to tell everyone thank you for all the prayers for my mom and family. Thank you for all the emails and letters that you send to my family and my mother. Thank you for all delicious food that you have brought over. My mom gets many flowers that are very beautiful but not as beautiful as she is. Thank you all for wearing the bracelets for my mom as I wear 3 of them every day. I want to thank God and everyone that has supported me and my family and my mother.

Thank you,
John John

UPDATE 8/22

I had a meeting with the entire staff at Kindred on Friday. We discussed Michele’s future for the next 3-4 months. Michele will have her Trach removed on Monday at 1pm and I will attend as I did when she had it inserted. I was told it is simple to remove and the wound will heal by itself in a matter of a few days without stitches. They simply remove it and cover it with gauze until it closes over a 2 day period. My wishes are that this helps Michele speak but honestly this has nothing to do with her speech other than mind over matter. Her inability to speak is solely due to the motor and speech functions in her brain and it will take a long time for that to heal if ever.

Michele is doing well medically and is on the fast track to leave her present hospital. Over the next two weeks Michele is expected to work her way out of the “Acute Care” to a “Skilled Nursing” facility. That means that she will be closer to home, without continued medical care but enhanced physical therapy. The goal is to get her to Craig Hospital over time but she only has 30 days at this hospital and she needs to have it at the proper time to make sure she gets all the help she needs.

Michele will not have her shunt adjusted at this time as the doctor decided to wait and see what happens over the next 2 weeks. This is very frustrating as I have been told several times that the shunt is and would be adjusted in certain directions to only find out that it has not been done. I cannot explain why this occurs, other than this is what the doctors say and it can change at any time. I will have to just hold my feelings and hands to my self until this is all over.

I am working to get Michele 2 procedures, Accumputure and Microcurrent which have been approve by her insurance but I need to get the right doctors to perform these procedures. I believe these both will help her in her healing.

I want to thank all of you that have sent emails over the last 3 days and I am reading all of them to Michele. I have not been able to read them all yet as they keep piling in but I want to ask that anyone that has not sent one in yet please do so as it is a project of mine to get everyone to respond so I can show Michele how much support she has. Please respond to this email even if you do not have a picture as she listens to every email with complete attention whether she knows the sender or not. Even a simple “Hi I’m from Colorado” will do just to show your support!

UPDATE 8/19

Michele is becoming a master at sing language this week. She is learning the alphabet this week and can sign the 1st letter of most of the family’s names. Michele’s CT scan determined that her ventricles were a little large therefore were are now going to lower her shunt to 170 instead of increasing it. This will take place next Tuesday and if all goes well her trach will be removed by next Friday. We hope this will allow her to expand on her motor skills. In the past 3 weeks her mental awareness has grown but the motor skills have diminished or stayed the same. I have a meeting this Friday with the entire medical staff at Kindred to discuss our plan of attack over the next month. My goal is to start some alternative medicine to help aid in her recovery and get her closer to going to Craig for her extensive 30 day rehab treatment.

Please remember to send an email to Michele by simply replying to this email, she truly loves to listen to me read her emails and she loves pictures. If everyone would send just 1 email with a picture it would keep her busy for the next month because I know and suspect that about 3000 people read this each and every time I send out an email. I challenge each and every one of you to send an email for her to see the support she has. Yes all of you not just the ones on my list but all of you that are forwarded to. I hear so many times of all the people that read and follow my dear wife’s struggles. Please email her to show support.

You can also add your notes to the following blog that she also gets. This blog has over 24000 hits in the last 4 months. It has all the emails I have ever sent and also includes her favorite songs as you read. http://www.miraclemichele.blogspot.com

Thank you very much for your prayers, love and support,

John

UPDATE 8/16

I have been out of town for the past week attending my God Mothers funeral; she passed away after a 2+ year battle with stage four lung cancer. Upon me return I was excited to see for myself the weeks improvements but unfortunately Michele has not progressed very much in the last week. I feel this is because she still needs her shunt adjusted and I have not been able to convince the doctors to make this last adjustment. Michele had her CT scan done on Thursday but I still do not have a reading on the scan. I also hope to have her trach taken out early this week. Michele can still move both hands and feet and she continually tries to sit up and act like she is trying to say something however nothing will come out of her mouth. It seams to aggravate her that she cannot talk. She tries so hard to speak and nothing happens. I will be setting up a meeting with her doctors this week to try and get some answers and progress. I have attached a picture of Michele’s head. This is the first one I have sent just to show how well she is healing and how good it really looks. Her hair will grow over her scar and soon you will never notice she had 5 surgeries in the same place over a six month period. I hope to have more and better information later this week.

John

UPDATE 8/6

Well Michele continues to get better each and every day. Her range of motion continues to expand and she is actually moving her right hand now. It has been quite some time for this but she seems to be getting all of her movement back slowly. She can hum but cannot speak yet. This very well may be the last thing that returns but I feel it will in time. We have the smallest insert in her Trach to allow her to speak. She will keep her trach in for a while longer since she has a history of choking. We do not want to loose the ability to suction her when needed until we are certain she can handle it on her own. Michele is again aware of her surroundings and enjoys the emails and pictures each of you send. Even the complete strangers are no longer strangers to our family as we have received many emails that have lifted our spirits from all. Michele is due for another CT scan on the 12th and we are waiting on her final shunt adjustment. Yes they told me it was at 200 but it is actually only at 180 right now. I feel once they move it Michele will start moving even quicker.

The children finished up their Junior Golf league this week and all of them took home trophies. John for 1st place team scramble, Tana 2nd place team scramble and Alyssa 1st place parent putting contest. Yes I am actually a good putter but Alyssa got 2 hole in ones. This has recently been Michele’s favorite sport and she enjoyed seeing her kids do well and she enjoyed playing with her kids. I keep telling her that she will be able to golf next year but she has to work hard to accomplish this. I know her well and I know she will not stop trying until she is able to once again golf with her family.

This week I also had to register all four kids in school which was a daring task for someone that normally leaves this task to his able wife. Being in 2 places on once “2 schools” is possible I just did not know it until I had to do it. Last year Michele had to register all 4 kids in 3 different schools and some how accomplished it. All of the children helped out completing forms and showing me the way but at the end of the day we all did it as a family and they are now ready for school. Have you ever thought of trading places with your spouse and whether you could do it better! Let me tell you now it’s not something you want to try even though it has been rewarding for our family. Never think you can do it better just say thank you for their effort.

John

UPDATE 8/2

Michele was moved back to Kindred Hospital Thursday afternoon. She was not ready to move however the hospital she was at needed the room so we had to move a few days early. Michele is still getting settled in her new room including all new check ups and evaluations. It is like she was never at the hospital. She is treated like a new patient and all the test that come along with a new patient. Once it is all done I will get an update as to what is going on. The medical records showed she got the Brucellosis back however I do not think this is a correct diagnosis and I will get the straight answer Monday afternoon. If all goes well Michele will have her trach out sometime tomorrow. She can move her left hand and right toes just like she did when she last woke up. She seems to be a little more depressed right now and I will be talking to the doctors about that tomorrow. As you can see in the pics Michele has 2 TV’s in her room. The one on top continues to play the same picture “It a love story” and the one below came from home so she can actually see the TV. Michele and I have 10 orchids in our house but they have never bloomed since we first purchased them over the years. For some reason they are all blooming this year so I took a picture of 2 of them that are currently blooming. Michele loves her orchids. I continue to read all email to Michele so please continue to send them. If you have pictures please send as well, she loves to look at pictures and really concentrates on them.
