Donation protected
Garon was living life working a full time job at Hagie as a welder. When he started having sharp abdomen pain. Thinking it was because of stress and everyday money problems he didn't think to hard about the pain. One night he had enough and went to the ER which they said he had ulcers and his liver counts were off and should follow up with his family doctor on lover counts.
Well this ER visit cost him his job. So living on unemployment and having more stress, he didn't have the means to follow up with doctor.
He was still in tremendous pain, got on medicare and then proceeded to go to the ER in Fort Dodge. Where they noticed his Liver was very enlarged. They admitted him and ran series of tests. Pumped him full of antibiotics. Set up appointments for all his tests and a day to come back in and get results.
September 17th 2015 Garon was diagnosed with stage 4 bile duct cancer, it had spread to his liver and lymph node. Making a massive tumor.
He has been doing chemotherapy as much as body will let him. Some days he can't get it because his blood to low or any other things.
Last few months he has been in and put of hospital for many things.
He called the ambulance because he woke up and couldn't breath. When ambulance got here his oxygen was 56 and heart rate was 160. He was admitted to hospital with a pulmonary ambulisum in lungs. Also found one in lower leg and one in upper right arm.
We started getting under control in ICU in Fort Dodge. But one night they life flighted him to Iowa City. Helicopter ran into problems and had to land in Desmoines and go ambulance to Iowa City. He was there for 3 days. Then a
Transported by ambulance back to dodge. Stayed there over night then came home on oxygen and blood thinner shots.
Then few days later he went in to get his abdomen drained of his bile which accumulates fast and once a week needs liters drained out. When he went in he had a fever so they started giving IV antibiotics and drained him. When they started second bag of antibiotics he started vomiting. But he came home anyway. Where he couldn't control his vomitting had trouble breathing and felt his heart couldn't handle it. Called ambulance and was took to Fort Dodge. Where they concluded his bile is eatting away at his stomach. They proceeded to say with antibiotics they could get this episode under control. But this will keep happening organ after organ.
His body can't handle this. They treated stomach and he came home.
