Jazmin's Journey: From Heartbreak to Healing

As many of you know, Jazmin has had a crazy past 2 1/2 weeks. On November 22 in Des Moines, Iowa, Jaz & I went to the gym like any other day. While at the gym, Jaz had some of the Ghost energy drink (not sure if this is what caused it), and moments after working out, she started to have a seizure. She collapsed on the floor (shaking) and her nose started to bleed! 911 was quickly called, but while waiting for the EMS to arrive, she lost her pulse and I began to give her CPR. As soon as the EMS got there, they took over and gave her CPR for several minutes and were finally able to get her heart pumping again after using a defibrillator to jump-start her heart. The doctors told us she was going to need a miracle to come back to us (and be the same Jazmin we knew). When she went into cardiac arrest, her stomach and kidneys stopped working, and her lungs and heart were in really bad shape. She had to overcome three different life supports (ECMO machine for her blood circulation, dialysis to clean out her kidneys, and a machine to control her oxygen levels) at the hospital and multiple procedures. She had an army of prayers for her, and I know most of you were praying, and we are so grateful and blessed for every single one. Thank God she has now overcome all of it, and I know God will continue to give her the strength to finish this miraculous recovery.

We are now overwhelmed with medical bills and the doctors still haven’t found out what the main cause of the cardiac arrest was. We also lost our jobs due to the amount of absences we had to take because of this incident. We are humbly asking for any help that we can get to try and pay off these medical bills, and go home to Texas to see our family. Any dollar helps, and we appreciate every penny.
