Randal Dawson needs your help
Donation protected
Update. Randal is awake. Is not confused, but awake. He is unable to stand unassisted and they are not sure if the clots are gone. Dr says that kidneys are not working properly and they must be functioning in order for him to be released.
Christine is beside him every step of the way. Please pray for her as she is feeling overwhelmed. It has been a long haul.
Thank
you all for your support and love.
So grateful and appreciative.
Hi friends and family… I’d like to reach out to all of you for some help with raising money for my cousin and her husband.
Randal, Dawson is 40 years old and lives in Yuma, Arizona with his wife, Christine, and their two kids, Randal and Jake.
This is what happened….. Randal, Christine, and some of their friends ventured out to go to the stage coach event and were stopped in their tracks when Randal suddenly stopped breathing in the middle of the night. Christine woke up to Randal in a seizure and immediately called 911.
He was unable to get a breath.
She woke up the friends and immediately started CPR. When the ambulance arrived they rushed him to the hospital.
He was life flighted from a hospital in Palm Springs to Loma Linda hospital in California, where they are known to be the best for this condition.
They discovered through various tests that Randal had a very large blood clot in his lung and another in his leg.
He was in a coma and placed on a ventilator for 7 days.
They are now trying to remove him from the ventilator completely, and see if he can breathe on his own. The first few attempts to remove him were NOT successful.
As Randall fights for his life, Christine has been with him and staying in a hotel near by. The two boys are at home with a nanny.
We are asking for thoughts and prayers to be sent to the family and if you can help financially, it would allow Christine some relief from the burden of all these horrific medical bills and allow for ongoing therapy and treatment.
We are still uncertain of the long term affects as Randal is in serious condition. But, what we do know is he will not be able to return immediately to work if he does recover fully, as he will need intense physical therapy and will need to learn to breathe on his own completely again.
Randal is an agricultural engineer, and that deficit in their income will be devastating to the family.
We will keep you posted here, if any progress.
Thank you so much for anything you can do.
Every dollar helps. ❤️❤️
