-It has been 6 weeks since life changed forever for the Sugar-Jarvis family.
As a result of the heart attack, Russell sustained an anoxic brain injury. The full extent of the long term effects of this type of brain unjury is uncertain at this time. While Russell has made some improvements over the past few weeks, the doctors have confirmed Russell will have permanent neurological deficits. Russell remains at Southlake hosptial on a medical floor. He will need to become more medically stable before being transfered to the neurology rehabilitation unit within Southlake. On neuro rehab Russell will receive treatment and care from physical, occupational and speech therapists to maximize his recovery. The length of stay on neuro rehab is unknown and what the next steps, following neuro rehabilitation are uncertain.
Danielle is doing a fantastic job balancing care of their 3 children, while being a constant champion, advocate and cheerleader for Russell. She spends her days at the hospital helping Russell fight for the best recovery possible. Her evenings are spent with the kids, supporting their needs.
It has been an incredibly stressful and emotional 6 weeks for this family. The journey unfortunately is going to be very long and challenging. As Russell, Danielle and family continue to navigate through Russell’s recovery , they will continue to need our love and support. If you have already made a donation, thank you. It is so appreciated by Danielle. If you would like to help them in ways other than through the GoFundMe, please me and I can coordinate this. Meal support would be very much appreciated.
Again, thank you for all for your kindness, love, support and prayers.
Please feel free to share this GoFundMe page with others that may want to contribute.
