Stand by Chad in His Medical Challenge

Dear friends and family,

My brother, Chad Crow, has been in and out of the hospital in the last couple of months, and with medical bills adding up, I'm hoping I can send a little help his way.

On October 29, he went into the hospital with shortness of breath. After multiple tests, they found he had 2 liters of fluid around his heart. Yakima cardiology heart doctors removed the fluid. Three weeks later, he went back for his follow-up appointment. He had an echocardiogram done, and they found a little more fluid and some other things they also wanted to get looked at. He was then admitted to the hospital on Tuesday, Dec 3. After dealing with the stress and waiting to get over to Seattle, he had to stay in Yakima hospital. On Saturday the 6th, a room opened up at the University of Washington Medical facility. He was then flown over there for more testing. Today, they ran more tests and an MRI. They are planning on draining more fluid around the heart and taking some tissue samples. So far, there haven't been clear answers on why the fluid keeps building up and what is causing it.

I'm hoping I can send a little help his way.
