Live Oak —
Suwannee County Commissioner Jesse Caruthers has been hospitalized due to complications from a ruptured spleen. He was listed in fair condition Tuesday afternoon at Shands Gainesville where he had been listed in critical condition in ICU.
He was taken to Shands Regional Medical Center in Live Oak on Friday, Sept. 14 where he was given the diagnosis of a ruptured spleen before being transferred to Shands Cancer Center and Trauma Unit in Gainesville for care.
According to fellow commissioner and friend Ivie Fowler, Caruthers went in for surgery on that Friday night concerning the ruptured spleen.
“Jesse and I go back about 25 years,” Fowler said. “Long before we had elected offices, I owned a car lot and Jesse would do mechanic work for me. He’s been a great friend. I would ask that everyone keep him in your prayers and put him on your church’s prayer list.”
Caruthers has been the District 1 county commissioner for the past 12 years.
