Zack Kennedy Medical and Stem Cell
Donation protected
Hi, My name is Christine Judd-Andrew and I trying to help my Nephew Zack Kennedy with medical bills, Medical care, Physical Therapy and hopefully raise enough to receive stem cell treatment.
On Friday September 1, 2023, my nephew Zack was riding his Electric Bike in Mt. Morris, Michigan near his home, when an Uber Eats driver was looking down at her phone and collided with my nephew.
Zack flew over her car and broke his leg in several places, both wrist, and his elbow. He has had 5 surgeries since his accident .
Zack was on a ventilator for the first couple days, he's off the vent and breathing on his own. He didn't have blood flow in his leg and the surgeons had to perform a fasciotomies, to hopefully get blood flowing again.
Zack had another surgery on Friday September 15, 2023. The Doctors had to take most of his anterior muscle in his lower leg because, it was dead from no blood flow.
The Doctors took the wound vac off and are now doing a dressing change daily on his leg. The Doctors performed a tissue biopsy and found Zack has a resistant infection in his wound.
The Doctors are nowhere close to closing the fasciotomy and they may need skin grafts if the swelling doesn't go down.
My Sister in-law said that stem cell could help Zack heal, but insurance won't cover it. That will be north of 10K. My nephew is still in the hospital and I am told he will take a year for his leg to heal if they can save it.
He will need Physical therapy and will be going to a full time nursing care facility after his hospital stay.
Zack is in a lot of pain has a fever, and a long road ahead of him. The Doctors are doing everything they can to save his leg and keep the infection at bay. Please help if you're able, if you can't please share this to more people.
Thank you so much,
Christine
