Donavan September Update

 

Donavan is back home again!! He is at his No. Little Rock house accepting visitors! 

He is still doing 20 hrs of speech therapy over at UAMS, so visits must be planned around that. Later weekday evenings (after 5) are good as are weekends. A strict sobriety rule is in force because of his many medications. He can't drive yet, so he is pretty much housebound, but still it is much better than staying at the clinic all those months! Call ahead to set it up with him.

(Pictured above: Donavan with visitors Devin and Byron)

Donavan Update August

 

Donavan had a successful surgery to recap his skull. He seems to have a new vitality and a better attitude. He is getting back his motor skills on his right side, and is now able to hold a pen. Another 30 days at the Speech Rehab to go! His new attitude is apparent in this photo of him in his new snazzy Italian hat! Quite an upgrade from that blue helmet he had to wear!

Donavan Update Mid-July 2026

Happy to report our good friend Donavan Suitt is continuing his path to recovery. His speech is much improved. His spirits are up, helped by visits from some of his many friends. His Dad checks him out on weekends sometimes and that helps a lot. He is scheduled for head surgery on the 23rd to seal up his skull.  Doctors say he should progress at a faster rate after that. We're all looking forward to him being sent home. Just a matter of time now.

Donavan being moved to new Hospital

 

Thursday morning Donavan is being moved to Timber Ridge Rehab in Benton AR. Visiting hours are evenings and the weekends. Use your GPS!

Donavan Update 5-31-2026

 

Donavan has been moved to Tower #2, Room 312, Baptist Hospital. He is doing MUCH better and shows noticeable improvement with every visit, and I've seen him 3 times this week. He is talking, but his speech is often difficult to understand. He is getting speech therapy and physical therapy daily. He is alert and aware, understands all we say and even laughs at times! He is getting more visitors and is buoyed by them, as he is sick and tired of being bed-ridden. 

Donavan Update 5-3-2026

 

As of today Donavan is still recovering at Baptist Hospital in Western Little Rock. He has undergone both a CT Scan and an EEG test and has passed those with no apparent injuries detected. The doctors are finding this promising, as should we all. This is not really the time to visit him as he can still not communicate and that agitates him. Best to wait until he can talk.

I am keeping the radio show going, but am not able to record it for our other stations. For now it will be the full 4 hrs, Tuesdays 8PM to Midnight, Central Time. You can listen in live at KABF.org or through the Radio Garden site.

For now the GoFundMe account is closed as it reached it's limit. There are benefits planned for the Little Rock area, most likely in June. Details will be posted as they become available.

Thanks to all the people that have contacted us with their well wishes and their powerful love. I can tell you it is most appreciated. Donavan has touched many lives.

Donavan Report 4-18-26

 

 I saw Donavan yesterday with our buddy, Matt. We were quite excited to see him looking better. He is still breathing on a tracheal tube. His eyes seem to say he understands us but he is unable to communicate with us, other than with a hand squeeze. This frustrates him and raises his blood pressure. We are unwittingly making matters worse. We might wait a while before seeing him again, and then in a consciously calmer state of mind (ours as well as his). This is hard for all of us but not as hard as it is for him. All we can do is wait and hope for the best.

Donavan on the mend!

 

Great news:

Donavan seems to be rallying! According to reports he is talking, watching tv and briefly able to stand. He was moved from UAMS to Baptist Hospital on the 10th floor in their long-term care unit. Plans are afoot for benefits to offset some of his medical expenses. I will, of course, be announcing those events as they become locked down. Many thanks to his many friends and family for the outpouring of love and contributions to his Go Fund Me account:

Donavan Update 4-13-26

 

 

Saw Donavan today and he was much improved from last week's visit. He's a bit more conscious but not to the point of communicating. His eyes are open occasionally and he seems to know people are there. He's breathing through a tube in his trachea and has another tube going into his chest. Still moving around a lot as if trying to get out of bed. He is loosely harnessed to keep him from ripping out the tubes. He is still not up for visitors, but this all seems to bode well for our friend.

Donavan Suitt Update

 

Thank you so much to everyone who has reached out to us in this time of trouble for the Rural War Room. Words cannot express my gratitude, a tired phrase but absolutely true. I was not aware that Donavan had so many friends and had touched so many lives.

Donavan is still under sedation with a breathing tube. Doctors need to get him off the sedatives to begin to test and assess the damage done from his fall, but they are unable to accomplish this so far. He is currently at UAMS hospital in Little Rock, a noted, world class hospital, under expert care. Not a whole lot to report after a week.

My good friend, cartoonist Carol Lay put this together for us:

The address for the GoFundMe page is

https://gofund.me/e3c16d993

I will be trying to keep the Rural War Room Radio show on the air with guest co-hosts and repeat shows for at least a month. I'm hoping we'll better know what is going on at that point. I will be unable at this point to post the shows here, but you could listen in live Tuesday Nights 8-Midnight (Central time) at

www.kabf.org

or you could use Radio Garden (a wonderful world wide radio site you should know about, anyway)

https://radio.garden

Again, many thanks for the outpouring of love. It is more than humbling.

My money is on Donavan. He is a strong fellow indeed.

Donavan's Dilemma

 

On Saturday morning, April 4th, Our Friend, Rural War Room co-host and co-founder Donavan Suitt had a very nasty fall off a ladder on to his head. He is now at UAMS hospital in Little Rock. Surgery has removed pieces of shattered skull and he is being tended to by their excellent staff. It's too early to tell what the outcome will finally be but a GoFundMe account has been founded for him. I will try and keep the Rural War Room going with guest co-hosts and repeats of older shows until Donavan can hopefully return. I wouldn't count him out. He is a powerhouse of energy. Those wishing to contribute to his fund can do so at this address:

https://gofund.me/e3c16d993

Rural War Room has been on the air since 2005 and has presented over 20,000 "World Wide Weird" songs you've never heard before in the tradition of old time Underground Radio. Many thanks for the love and contributions that have already come in.
