Help Trevor's Fight for Heart Recovery

On Tuesday evening, November 26, 2024, at 8:17 PM, 14-year-old Trevor was playing VR with a close friend when he suddenly experienced erratic breathing. His friend asked, "What's wrong?" and Trevor replied, "Oh God, my heart," before collapsing.

At 8:19 PM, Trevor's dad walked into the room and found him unresponsive, his face blue and purple, with his head hanging off the bed. Acting quickly, his dad began CPR and called for help. Paramedics arrived at 8:25 PM, and Trevor was life-flighted to Vanderbilt Children's Hospital, where he remains in critical but stable condition.

Trevor will require heart surgery, though the exact procedure is still unknown. Since being admitted, he has faced numerous challenges, including pneumonia and air pockets forming outside his lungs. Additionally, his trachea was lacerated in two places during intubation, leaving him only able to whisper for now.

Despite these hurdles, there are moments of hope. Trevor is occasionally alert enough to recognize his parents and respond to commands before drifting back into unconsciousness. He is no longer on a ventilator, but his condition remains fragile. Doctors are still working to determine the cause of his sudden collapse.

This has been an incredibly challenging time for Trevor and his family. There is a long road ahead, not only for Trevor as he recovers but also for his family as they navigate the emotional and financial strain of this journey. Any help, whether through donations, prayers, or simply sharing their story, would mean the world to them. Thank you for your kindness and support during this critical time.
