update:My husband has now passed away. he passed away may 20,2020. He fought for is life 4 months. he fought strong and tuff and hard. He had is way as we all do but he was a good huband and father whos heart was very pure. I sit here alone feeling numb and empty. i have no help to burry my husband. his family hates me and will not even talk to me. they blame me for him being shot instead of the guy who actually did it.They have contacted funeral homes behind my back without my concent or my put in just trying to take over. i have reached out to them out of respect for my husband to try to come up with arrangements together. All i have gotten back is they dont wanna talk to you. My heart hurts as well as my kids we are very broken. the medical examiner told me i dont have alot of time to make a decision or to get arrangements taken care of as his body was already very frail. and that mother nature is not kind. At a time like this of so much hurt and pain and grief all i have is me and our children. I dont have the money needed to lay him to rest and i dont have the support of his family. I have to reach out beyond them so i can do what is right for my husband and our kids.i know times are hard due to covid19 but if anyone out there can help please im on my hands and knees and beggin Hello my name is sarah. I am the wife of a recent victim. The incident occurred january 3rd of 2020 in Chattanooga, Tennessee . Me and the victim have for beautiful kids together. My husband has always strived to be a provider for us his family and a protector. My husband has sustained major injuries. He was shot twice one in the side and one in the lower abdomen. Then after that he was beat in his head with the gun. He has sustained major life threatening issues. A collapsed lung. Hole in his colon. As well as the bullet hit major arteries. He lots of 200 pints on blood and the body normal contains 5. He lost his own blood and blood giving to him time after time. The doctors did not believe he make it through the first night, and if he did he would be a miracle. they said he was the sickest patient they have had and never had to give so much blood to anyone. Well so far he is that miracle. He his still here fighting and i know he his fighting to stay here with us his family. He is was on over 7 meds and all are high doses. Now 3 days later he has reached a stable state with his vitals and is responsive. He can give thumbs and squeeze my hand. However is is still heavily medicated have a breathing tube cause he can not breath on his own yet but god willing he will. He also is not responsive to anything waist down the bullet also grazed his spine. The doctors do not know if it is permanent or temporary.he his currently on constant dialysis because his kidneys are not functioning. My husband is strong and has the will to live. Since this has happend life as become an even bigger challange because without him i am left to provide for our children . i have no clue how i will be able to pay for any of his bills nor medical equipment or medicine once he his able to come home. Also we were living in an extended stay untill we found a house we wanted but now i have to do it on my own and find one that is accessible for him and all his medical equipment. He his 6"2 and currently 270 to me at 4"11 and 130. I have major challenges ahead of me. I want to be able to care for my husband when he is able to be released in a home with our children because i know that iswhy he is fighting for his life. We are is world as he is ours. The driving back and forth to the hospital as well as babysitters so i can even visit is causing a huge strain. With all pride aside i would like to ask for any help anyone can possible help with in order to keep my husband and jchildren close.We would truly appreciate anyone willing to help as in this time of tragedy and need. To who ever has taken their time to stop and read this thank you so much for taking time out your day to do so. And nothing is to small anything will greatly appreciated as well if all u can give is prayer. Thank you and god bless.
