Johnnie Tuitel's hospital and home care
Johnnie's sister Corry tells the story:
"In the middle of March, Johnnie Tuitel was admitted to Spectrum Blodgett hospital in Grand Rapids. His health had been declining since the end of November, and if the truth be told, a lot of us weren't sure he was going to make it.
"Johnnie's body was tired, and every organ was fighting an incredible battle! He had liver problems, then his kidneys failed and the doctors started him on dialysis, at which time his heart stopped and it took doctors 6 minutes to bring him back. He then had issues with his lungs and was placed on a ventilator for almost 2 weeks!
"Johnnie was truly fighting his greatest battle, but he pulled out of this downward spiral and began to show signs of recovery! He had some major improvements, then suddenly declined again. His kidneys were not dong their job and he was on fluid overload. Then out of nowhere, his kidneys began functioning and he began to improve physically and mentally! It's an absolute miracle that he has survived this ordeal, and finally been discharged to go home!
"We thank each and everyone of you for your continued prayers and support!"
