Help With Medical Bills

Donation protected
Hi, my name is McKenze and Im just trying to raise funds to help my parents with their medical bills after my dad- John had eye removal surgery on March 8th. John is 57 and his birthday is march 26th. He recently had his right eye removed due to a tumor between his retina and eyeball causing blindness in his right eye. That surgery went well but about a week later he was in a lot of stomach pain so he was brought in and they found an obstruction in his stomach, when they went in to do surgery they found a blood clot that killed off 80% of his small bowel. He is currently in the ICU connected to a ventilator with his stomach open to wait for him to get stronger to stand a second surgery. If you can’t donate just please pray for him.

Update: John had another surgery today 3-24-24 and it went well. They went in to clean up and make sure no more intestine had died. It went well. No other intestine had died and it looks healthy according to the doctor. Tuesday will be another surgery to reconnect the small intestine and close up his stomach. He isn’t out of the woods yet and if he makes it the next two weeks they will transfer him to a rehab facility to help him adjust to food again. Yesterday he had all of his family surrounding him (2 at a time of course) and I think that really helped his mindset. Thank you everybody who has already donated and have prayed. Please continue to pray and if you can’t donate more prayers and shares are welcome.

Edit: John had surgery again on 3-26-24 to finally reconnect his small intestines. He got through surgery well but now we have to watch for leaks and the next 24-48 hours will be critical for that. Again thank you for reading, sharing, and all of the prayers already received,
