Providing an update to the ongoing GoFundMe. As I previously commented, I never thought I would be writing this, but as the title says I'm in a medical fight for my life. Many of you are aware I am a Cancer survivor of Hodgkin's Lymphoma. I have been in the hospital over 50x since March 27th, 2023 spending over 190 days in medical centers. Over this time I had a stroke on April 9, 2023, October 12, 2023, February 4, 2024 and my fourth on February 10, 2024. I am currently diagnosed with bilateral pulmonary edema, elevated troponin blood levels of the heart, acute on chronic diastolic heart failure (congestive heart failure), liver failure, Addison’s Disease, portal venous hypertension, portal hypertensive gastropathy, (Splenomegaly), Syncope (blacking out and falling), chronic anemia, thrombocytopenia, hyponatremia, hypokalemia and telectasis (now dealing with pneumonia again). I will be on oxygen and heart medications for the rest of my life and have to use a rollator walker to get around.
Most recently, my blood pressure dropped to 58/31 on Friday and I flatlined. The hospital had to revive me in ICU. The following night I slipped into a coma when my BP again fell to 84/36 having to be treated in ICU for stabilization. I was moved from Atrium Charlotte to the Medical University of South Carolina in Lancaster yesterday where I flatlined two more times last night having to be revived by my daughter and a full team of doctors and nurses.
I have made many great relationships, friendships and memories with each of you over the years. I love seeing all the pics and updates!
I was wrongfully laid off from my job last year while I was sick and unable to work right now. I do not have unemployment, nor disability. I have paid over $250k in medical bills thus far and still have just shy of $80k more to pay due to recent hospitalizations and complications. Medication bills are continuing to pile up as well.
As you know, I am a single Dad for the past 9 years (Kayla 19, Tyler 16) and want to make sure my kids are taken care of while I fight to get back on my feet. Any donations would be beyond generous and if not monetary, prayers are welcome as I am a devout Christian and Jesus Christ is my lord and saviour. I turn everything over to God for HIS plan for me to be revealed.
Thank you all in advance for reading this and GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
