Derrick and Dana Reese

OFTEN TIMES THINGS HAPPEN THAT CAN NOT BE EXPLAINED, ON THE EARLY MORNING OF 1/5/17 DERRICK'S HEART STOPPED BEATING. DANA, DERRICK'S WIFE,  WAS BRAVE ENOUGH TO PERFORM CPR WHILE ON THE PHONE WITH 911 AND UNTIL THE PARAMETICS ARRIVED. DERRICK WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL HOSPITAL WHERE HE WAS PUT ON LIFE SUPPORT AND STABILIZED SO HE COULD BE AIR LIFTED TO METHODIST CENTRAL OF DALLAS WHERE HE REMAINS IN ICU. DERRICK HAS WHAT THEY CALL AN IDIOPATHIC HEART DISEASE WHICH IS A CONDITION THAT ARISES SPONTANEOUSLY AND THE CAUSE IS UNKNOWN. DERRICK HAS BEEN TAKEN OFF LIFE SUPPORT AND IS BREATHING ON HIS OWN. DERRICK WILL HAVE A DEFIBRILLATOR PLACED BY HIS HEART FOR PREVENTATIVE MEASURES JUST IN CASE HIS HEART TRIES TO STOP AGAIN. DERRICK HAS A VERY LONG ROAD OF RECOVERY AHEAD OF HIM. HE WILL HAVE TO UNDERGO EXTENSIVE THERAPY FOR MANY MONTHS EVEN WHEN HE IS RELEASED FROM THE HOSPITAL. DANA HAS NOT LEFT DERRICK'S SIDE AND IS UNABLE TO WORK AND IT IS UNKNOWN AS TO WHEN EITHER OF THE TWO WILL BE ABLE TO RETURN TO WORK. ALTHOUGH DERRICK IS IN THE HOSPITAL NORMAL LIFE DOESN'T STOP AND THE BILL'S DO NOT STOP COMING IN. DERRICK AND DANA HAVE 2 CHILDREN AND DERRICK HAS BEEN WITH CISD FOR THE PAST 5 YEARS. LOTS OF MEDICAL BILLS AND OTHER NORMAL BILLS ARE BEGINNING TO PILE UP. I COME TO YOU ALL AND ASK THAT YOU HELP SUPPORT THIS BEAUTIFUL FAMILY IN THIS TIME OF NEED. ANYTHING WILL HELP AND PLEASE CONTINUE TO PRAY FOR HIS HEALING. GOD IS OUR HEALER AND PROTECTOR AND I KNOW HE WILL SEE THIS FAMILY THROUGH THIS TRYING TIME.
