Jimmy Beal’s Celebration of Life

Update 01/20/2022

My brother passed away after 2 months in the hospital battling interstitial lung disease.  All funds collected will now help with medical and funeral costs, we appreciate all your prayers and love you have sent us throughout his journey.  He will be with us forever.

I am fundraising to help my brother with medical costs.

My brother is a pretty private person but I am reaching out because he needs some prayers. He has been sick for some time and we have been going through various testing to try and figure what is wrong. He was scheduled to have an angiogram here on Wednesday, instead ended up in the ER unstable and with dangerously low oxygen levels. He was admitted that evening for a lung infection with underlying interstitial lung disease. His lungs are completely inflamed making it too difficult to breath. Yesterday afternoon he became very unstable and was transferred to CCU. After talking with the lung specialist it was agreed he needed to be sedated and on a ventilator to let his body rest before it was too late. He is stable but still critical. Thank you for any support whether it’s monetary or just some prayers for his recovery.

Update 12/13/21

Jimmy has overcome septic shock and pneumonia with MSSA infection .  While his lungs were overloaded fighting his right heat began to fail.  He is stable now and still on a ventilator and will require a lung and heart transplant.  We are working to get a tracheostomy and peg this week and then work on getting him moved to an acute rehab center to get well enough to be eligible for the transplant list.  All prayers are welcomed.  Thank you
