Medical Recovery for James Dickens

Hello Everyone, I am Schantalyn Dickens my Husband James and I recently got married 45 days before James had a massive stroke on January 5th of this year at 3:00am. Thank God he was still able to talk and let me know he couldn’t feel his left side, speech was slurred, and he started vomiting. While I was praying over him, I immediately call 911 and he was showing all the signs of a stroke.  Immediately after arriving at the emergency room a CT scan was done it showed James suffered a massive stroke on the right side of his brain, he was intubated before being air lifted to a trauma hospital to have emergency surgery to remove a clot in his carotid artery and a stent was placed to prevent further clotting.  The stent was placed in the artery and didn’t stop the clotting. Unfortunately James started having increased swelling/bleeding a few days later and had a second emergency surgery to remove the bone from his skull to prevent brain damage, after both surgeries he was placed in ICU fighting for his life. James had a third surgery to place a Trach for breathing and a feeding tube in his stomach. All Glory to God for all the miracles he has done on James body, he is making progress everyday on his road to recovery. The medical bill for just being in ICU is over 1 million and he was recently moved to a long term care hospital to continue medical care and start intensive rehab, that medical bill is already over 800,000 and will continue to increase as he recovers. Due to James recent unforeseen medical emergency, James isn’t receiving income, it is uncertain when he will be able to return to work. When I first met James I saw and knew he has a big heart of love for Everyone, full of life, hard working man, loves all of our Children, Family and Friends. James is the best Husband, Father, Brother, Uncle and Friend to many. James is my Superman, I have so much love and respect for him, he has helped me from the very beginning of our relationship to love, care and provide for our special needs Daughter that have multiple chronic conditions and needs full time care. While on his road to recovery, I am asking if you can please donate whatever you can to help relieve some of the financial costs as he recovers and please share his gofund me page. We’re trusting and believing God for his speedy recovery, God is in control. Please keep James and our Family in your prayers, God bless❤️

Our wedding was on 11/26/23

  

All because of God James is blessed and highly favored to be here with us and making progress 2 months later, after everything he’s been through.
