Continuing care costs for Carrie McGuire
My wife Carrie got sick (pulmonary embolisms both lungs). So sick she Coded (died) four times. She was in a code blue status (heart stopped) eleven times over a two hour period with chest compressions, shocks and intubation. She was given the clot buster medication and her condition stabilized. At that time we were told she was only given a five percent chance to live without full machine support. Only a two percent chance of brain function if she did. she was on full life support and her pupils were fixed and dilated. The doctors had me sign a DNR order and organ donation form. At that time they wanted me to turn off life support and let her go... They said after a certain point doing more CPR and extreme measures would be crewel and unusual... She was given a blood infusion during the last try to revive her. I leaned in close and told her what the doctors wanted me to do. She responded! Shook her head no and mouthed NO, around the tube. Doctors told me it was probably just reflex movements. Well, they were wrong! Right now, after a month in the intensive care unit at Sutter faith in Sacramento, we have been moved to a rehab center in Auburn. We received a miracle. She is fully there! Mentally she is great! Physically she still has some challenges, but will be expected to fully recover. This go fund me is to help us pay for the continuing care she will need that is not covered by our insurance. If you can, we could use your donations to fund skilled nursing and home care. She will be heading home in about 15 days!!! (today is 11-24-23) We raised six kids and have 8 grandchildren. She fought to stay for them and us all. Thanks in advance, Ron McGuire husband. [phone redacted] .
