Hello everyone!

Stephen "Jamie" Toulouse, better known as "Stepto" in the gaming and security community fell into a deep coma on Monday, June 8th, 2015.

The cause was initially uncertain but it has since been determined he has a severe infection that likely contributed. His infection is responding somewhat to treatment, and he has begun responding to our voices and following commands for the first time this morning. While we are excited for this small stride, he is still in critical condition.

Because he still has problems from his infection, they are keeping him on a ventilator and keeping him sedated. We are expecting a prolonged hospital stay, although there is now some hope for recovery.

This was unexpected for all of us and I do not want expenses to keep close family away.

The Family's immediate expenses:

Travel expenses for close family
Accommodations for family (hotel)
Transportation costs within the city
Incidental expenses (meals at or near hospital, Stepto recovering enough to demand better Wifi, etc)
