Help Collin and Kate with Our Medical Expenses

On Christmas day, Collin started to feel sick and 2 days later confirmed it was COVID. Fortunately, he did have some time off and was able to stay home and recover. Then, unexpectedly, Collin woke the morning of the January 1st with an extreme pain in his side that had all the symptoms of an infection in his skin. We went to the urgent care and got a round of antibiotics and were hopeful he would feel better. Two days later, on January 3rd, he was rushed to the emergency room as the antibiotics did not seem to be working. After the initial blood work and scans, Collin was informed that he was still testing positive for COVID and had been diagnosed with bilateral pneumonia on top of the news that the infection had spread so fast that it had become Necrotizing Fasciitis. Quick acting by his doctors, Collin was admitted and rushed straight in to surgery to have the infection removed. The operation was successful but that was the beginning of a long 15 day stay in the hospital. A second surgery was required and his kidneys had been damaged which required dialysis treatments for the foreseeable future. Today, there is now no sign of infection and his kidneys are returning to full strength. Collin is going to be just fine.

As most everyone know, even with insurance, this is still America and it is damn expensive to get sick. We greatly appreciate the well wishes and casseroles, but the bills are arriving and unplanned medical expenses are overwhelming. If you would like to help reduce the burden of these expenses, anything and everything would be appreciated and every red cent over my insurances maximum out-of-pocket will be returned. Thank you so much for your generosity.
