Cole Cavanaugh & Family

On August 18th 2023 Cole came down with a severe case of necrotizing pancreatitis. His case began to progress quickly at his stay in St. Elizabeth’s Hospital in Appleton, WI. Just a few days later they had informed us that 25-30% of his pancreas had died and the intense care that he needed, St Elizabeth’s could no longer provide. He was swiftly intubated and airlifted to Froedtert Hospital in Milwaukee. His condition continued to worsen over the course of his stay. The pancreatic enzymes infected his lungs causing him to develop ARDS. Which dramatically impacted his breathing and overall lung function. The lungs then became the focus of his care. Being on the ventilator he contracted pneumonia that ultimately turned septic. With Cole’s condition this made the odds 1 in a million. We were hoping and praying that he would be that 1.

Unfortunately, we got the call that he passed away in the early hours on 9/11

He fought hard, enough battles for all of our life times. He is now at peace.

If his recovery was based on love and support, Cole would have instantly been healed.
