Please Support Blaine's Urgent Medical Recovery

Dear community,

We humbly ask for help to ensure Blaine's recovery without the intense stress of financial loss.

In the middle of the night on Sunday, 12.15.24, Blaine couldn't breathe and was experiencing pain that 'felt like a heart attack.' We rushed to the ER in Todos Santos, Mexico immediately. Blaine was put on an IV, and his EKG showed worrisome T waves. After a full day of tests, his blood showed more worrisome results, especially in regards to his lungs and the pneumonia he was already fighting with antibiotics for a week. We rushed to Cabo via ambulance, and he was admitted to the ER. After more blood tests and a CAT scan, we learned that his lung infection had spread into the area around his lungs, and the infected fluids and pus weren't allowing him to breathe. We lucked out with a phenomenal heart and lung specialist who is giving Blaine the proper medicines and surgically placed a tube into his chest to drain the liquids. Within the first 24 hours, over 850ml of liquids were released, and Blaine is already breathing much better.

We are quickly moving through our savings as we have to pay our balance each day for care to proceed. In order for Blaine to keep receiving the care he needs, we humbly ask for community support. We bow in gratitude and trust that this care received will ripple in many seen and unseen ways.

Blaine has a long recovery in the hospital in Cabo and then in home care, but we all know he will be spreading love and stoke in the mountains and waves soon again.
