On a very cold early morning hours of January 2 our lives changed more than we would have ever believed or known.  Bill wasn't feeling good on the night of January 1st but thought he had a stomach bug, hours later he woke up with a severe headache and neck pain. he thought it would just go away.  But needless to say it didn't and became more complicated when he began to have severe lower back and flank pain. The worse pain he had ever felt.  When he finally agreed to come to the ER where I was working with the help of his sister, Pam and niece ,Emily.  He finally arrived at the emergency room.  after the help of many amazing professionals and several tests, Bill was diagnosed with a dissecting aorta , blocked right carotid, and no blood supply to his left kidney.  With these diagnosis no one could believe he was alive and talking to us.  Within in a little over an hour he was in the operating room for the battle of his life. After long hours on the operating table and under the care of an experience Level 1 Trauma team and Cardiothoracic surgery team he beat the 35% chance of survival.  At this point prayers from everyone began rolling in for him from all over. Unfortunately in less than 12 hours he was returned to the operating room for a second surgery.  Bill stayed in the MICU (11 days total ) and another 7 days in a regular room.  However this was only the first steps on a long road to recovery. By the grace of God and thousands of prayers he is beating the odds.  He has amazed all the doctors and medical professional at the hospital.  There is no clue of the time and the path that lies ahead for him, but it will be walked with God by his side.  Unfortunately we have no clue on when he will be able to return to work and  bills are still coming in and need to be paid. Many medical  needs, prescriptions and other things are rolling of us... .......... Becky 

A little message from Bill..... I want to express my appreciation to everyone who has helped me and all of those of you who will help me.  No words can express the gratitude I have for all of you and for you caring words, prayers and love to me and my loved one.  Unlike my character I am asking for your help, no donation is to small and all will help so much.   Prayers are still needed as I walk this path to recovery.


Thank you in advance and may God bless and protect you.  Bill
