PLEASE HELP IF YOU CAN
I DON’T NORMALLY POST PERSONAL THINGS, HOWEVER, I AM MAKING AN EXCEPTION NOW.
MY PARTNER OF 26 YEARS, THE LOVE OF MY LIFE, HAS BEEN VERY SICK SINCE APRIL 2017. A BACTERIA ATTACKED THE WIRES OF HIS PACEMAKER CAUSING A BLOOD INFECTION KNOWN AS SEPSIS. THIS INFECTION THEN SHUT DOWN HIS KIDNEYS SO HE’S BEEN ON DIALYSIS 3 DAYS A WEEK SINCE MAY OF 2017.
AFTER 3 MONTHS 7 DAYS IN THE HOSPITAL LAST YEAR THEY MANAGED TO GET THE INFECTION UNDER CONTROL, BUT THE INFECTION, ALTHOUGH DORMANT, STILL REMAINED INSIDE HIS BODY. THE CARDIOLOGIST FELT IT TOO RISKY TO TRY AND REMOVE THE PACEMAKER AND INFECTED WIRES AND WANTED TO TRY TO KEEP THE INFECTION UNDER CONTROL WITH STRONG (AND VERY EXPENSIVE) ANTIBIOTICS.
THE MEDICINES WORKED FOR A WHILE, BUT THIS LAST MONTH HE KEPT GETTING WEAKER AND WEAKER EACH DAY. SATURDAY I HAD TO CALL AN AMBULANCE TO RUSH HIM TO THE HOSPITAL. THE INFECTION HAD RETURNED, LEAVING US WITH NO OPTION OTHER THAN REMOVING THE INFECTED WIRES DEEPLY EMBEDDD IN HIS HEART.
THE DOCTORS HERE DID NOT HAVE THE EQUIPMENT OR THE KNOWLEDGE TO ATTEMPT THIS RISKY SURGERY, SO THEY AIRLIFTED HIM TO THE UNIVERSITY OF UTAH MEDICAL CENTER SUNDAY NIGHT WHERE THEY DID THE SURGERY WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 28. 2018.
HE IS THERE, ALONE, BECAUSE I COULDN’T GO WITH HIM. THEY WOULD FLY HIM THERE, BUT NOT ME, AND WITH MY CAR NEEDING A NEW ENGINE I HAD NO WAY TO GET THERE. I MISS HIM SO MUCH AND IT’S DIFFICULT NOT BEING WITH HIM, BUT HE KNOWS I’M THERE IN SPIRIT.
WE WERE TOLD AFTER HE RECOVERS, UTAH WOULD FLY HIM BACK HOME, HOWEVER, THE CASE WORKER IN UTAH INFORMED ME THIS WAS NOT TRUE -- I HAD TO FIND A WAY TO GET HIM HOME.
I CALLED A FRIEND WHO IS WILLING TO DRIVE 600+ MILES (ONE WAY) TO GO GET HIM AND BRING HIM HOME TO ME, BUT I DESPERATELY NEED HELP TO PAY THIS WONDERFUL FRIEND’S GAS, FOOD, A ROOM IF NEEDED, AND HIS LOST WAGES FOR TAKING TIME OFF WORK TO DO THIS FOR US. ALSO, WE WILL NEED TO MAKE SEVERAL TRIPS TO UTAH FOR FOLLOW UP SO I NEED MY CAR RUNNING. THE OLD TRUCK IS OKAY FOR AROUND TOWN ON SHORT TRIPS, BUT IT WILL NOT MAKE IT TO UTAH.
WITH DIALYSIS TREATMENTS FOR ALMOST A YEAR, AND ALL THE OTHER NUMEROUS DOCTOR BILLS, MEDICARE IS NO LONGER PAYING FOR TREATMENTS OR THIS SURGERY, LEAVING US WITH MORE ENORMOUS DEBTS. OPEN HEART SURGERY IS SO EXPENSIVE, AND MY CREDIT CARDS ARE MAXED FROM GETTING THE MEDICINES HE NEEDED TO KEEP HIM ALIVE WHILE HOPING THE INFECTION WOULD NOT RETURN.
FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE I AM REACHING OUT TO OTHERS FOR HELP TO GET HIM HOME, GET MY CAR RUNNING, A HOSPITAL BED FOR WHEN HE COMES HOME, AND A LITTLE HELP TOWARD HELPING ME GET MY CATARACTS REMOVED. IT’S VERY HARD TO SEE AND I WILL NEED TO DRIVE WHEN WE HAVE TO MAKE THOSE TRIPS BACK TO UTAH FOR FOLLOW UP DOCTOR VISITS.
ANY AMOUNT WILL HELP AND WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!
IF YOU CANNOT HELP WITH THE MONETARY NEEDS I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND, BUT IF YOU BELIEVE IN THE POWER OF PRAYER YOU CAN STILL HELP BY PRAYING HE WILL NOT HAVE ANY MORE COMPICATIONS AND WILL HAVE A SPEEDY RECOVERY.
