K. Jason Meeks: Helping his Broken Heart
Donation protected
Our names are Sadie, Taylor, and Jesse. Our dad, K. Jason Meeks is in need of your help.
Jason was admitted into the Jackson hospital after what we thought, was just going to be a cardiologist appointment with a scan of his heart. Come to find out, his heart was enlarged and was working at an abnormal pace. After crashing in the ICU, he was life flighted to ERIMC hospital in Idaho Falls where he could be seen by specialists. After several pokes and scans, he was diagnosed with several heart failure symptoms including Cardiomyopathy, meaning his heart muscle has became weak causing it to not pump blood like it should. He spent 4 days in EIRMC and was sent home with multiple medications hoping to help the problem.
Thinking he was out of the water and could finally heal at home, we received a text message Monday night (being home a little over 24 hours) that he was being life flighted into University of Utah. Jason’s blood pressure swooped to a very low and alarming number with a small percentage of his heart pumping 5% instead of the proper 65%. He will be at U of U for an undetermined amount of time as the hospital tries to stabilize his heart and figure out the best treatment for him.
We are asking for donations so our dad doesn’t have to worry about the financial aspect so he can heal and rest easy. He has been out of work because of this condition and won’t be able to work for an uncertain amount of days/weeks/months. This money will go towards bills, unprecedented medical bills, and travel expenses back and forth meeting with the doctors in Utah.
As some of you already know, Jason has had an exceptionally hard year. He currently doesn’t have medical insurance due to the status of his divorce. Anything helps and everything is greatly appreciated.
