Support for John's Heart Surgery Recovery
Donation protected
Hey guys, my dad John Watson had to be rushed into emergency open heart surgery on 12/18 to fix a tear in his ascending aorta. After a 6 hour surgery they successful repaired the life threatening tear, but unfortunately found another tear in his descending aorta. The doctors aren’t sure how stable this tear is but are reluctant to go back in for surgery. If this tear is stable we will just monitor dad, but if it becomes unstable he will have to have another surgery.
Dad will have to be off of work for several months for monitoring, recovery, and rehabilitation, and unfortunately he was the sole provider for our family. During this time we are not going to be able to afford our rent or monthly bills without his income and are asking our community for any support possible. This has been a terrifying and difficult time for our family and we are trying to focus on getting Dad healthy and strong again. Any support is appreciated and I know Dad would love to see and hear from you guys as well. Thank you all.
