Dusty’s open heart surgery

Hello, my name is Amber.  Most of you know that my husband, Dusty has been sick for a couple of years and unable to work.

Well, after seeking treatment at the Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale, AZ, he has received many diagnoses for many diseases.  He has been diagnosed with Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy which is a muscular blockage in the left ventricle and has anterior leaflets prior to the mitral valve which are causing a murmur.  He also has been diagnosed with rheumatoid and osteoarthritis in his joints, fibromyalgia, type 2 diabetes, glaucoma, two blood clotting disorders, c-spine and l-spine damage, bone spurs and tears on his right shoulder, and other issues with his left shoulder and both knees.

Now for the good news, due to the complexity of his heart issues and having two clotting disorders, heart surgery in Phoenix was not an option.  His cardiologist at the Mayo in Scottsdale contacted Mayo in Rochester, MN and they have a surgeon that is willing to do the operation to fix both heart  conditions on August 15th.
We will be flying there on the 13th and staying until at least the 23rd.  We are asking for help as I am the only income and I am taking 3 weeks off work to help him, also need help with traveling expenses.

This is only the 1st of at least 6 surgeries he has upcoming.  

Those who know my husband, know that he would give the shirt off his back for anyone and ask little or nothing in return which is why I had to do this page for him.

This is a very dangerous operation with many risks including the possibility of coming home with a pacemaker.

All this comes at a time when our daughter Adriana starts her 1st semester at GCU in Phoenix, we are blessed that a family member volunteered to take her down there.
 
We have had some blessings from friends and family members but are in still in need of many things before this trip.

We are humbly asking for your prayers and anything you might able to donate.

God bless everyone and thank you in advance for you prayers and generosity.
