Kamdens fight for his Life- Medical
Donation protected
Hello everyone, I am fundraising for my brother Kamden who is currently in the trauma burn ICU at University of Michigan. For anyone who doesn’t know my brother Kamden, He has Autism and is non-verbal.
He was in a horrible traumatic car accident 6/30 with his dad. He was taken by EMS to the University of Michigan with the following conditions:
UPDATED 07/17/2023:
-At this time Kamden has made it post-operative for a below the knee amputation and amputation of his right toes.
-He is also battling Aspiration Pneumonia and CDIFF -3rd/4th Degree Burns from the Knee down on both legs
-Smoke inhalation to lung
-Lung contusion
-Broken Ribs
-Neck fractures
-Scapula fracture
-Thoracic vertebrae fracture- repaired with pins and rods in his back.
Kamdens medical journey has started with pins and rods placed in his back for his vertebrae and he had a debridement for his legs to remove dead tissue/burned skin from his body. Procedure for grafts and debridement were completed. And unfortunate news we received 7/12/23 that he will need below the knee amputation on his left leg.
-07/17/2023 The best doctors at U of M did Kamdens BKA and informed us he needed his toes amputated on his right foot. He is doing well post-operative.
At this time, this is all we know at the moment. There are plenty of uncertainties when it comes to his condition/ what his future holds for Kamden.
Anything helps towards his recovery, and also for my mom to be able to be with him/time off work during this scary time for my brother. Whether that be hotel stays, gas money for travel, or just a meal for my mom and family taking care of him.
His journey is far from over, and all the hopes and prayers are much appreciated! #KAREFORKAMDEN
