Let's help Jamie!

Donation protected
I'm Lacy, and I've been friends with Jamie & Jimmy since we were small kids. I'm starting this for him not only because some of his friends want a way to help him but also because I know how it is to get out of the hospital and have to stress about finances while trying to heal.  Jamie is a single daddy.. And If you've known Him for a while and if you've been following him than you know that he's been struggling with health issues most of his life staying in constant pain most of the time. He's gone Back and forth to so many doctors praying for some kind of answers and relief. Hes had a history of pulmonary issues after surgeries, and a history of pneumonia. He finally got the answers he's been waiting on... And he went in Friday to have a Ladd surgery. Since then.. He's not been able to breathe on his own and has been on a ventilator every since. Monday they went in and did a tracheotomy. Yesterday he woke up on his own and started having asthma attacks so they sedated him again. His lungs are extremely weak, a physician even told him that before this surgery that one was collapsing. They have Kept him sedated since the surgery but are planning to try to slowly wing Him from the ventilator soon.

Jamie will remain in the hospital for at least 30 days, that's if it all goes as planned. Obviously it's not though. His weak lungs are being stubborn to say the least. He also will have rehab when he's able to.

Right now the biggest need is prayer and faith. We are standing on Gods word, it's not 'if' God brings Jamie out of this but 'when.' Everyone that knows Jamie knows that he freaks out about money and bills. His finances will be just one more thing added to his plate of worries when he's able to come home, and he's not even 100% hell even still have a job. Every little bit helps, and if you aren't able to give financially that's ok.. Keep the prayers coming! Our God is bigger than any obstacle we could ever face and he's with Jamie right now.

I'll update this as I get word..
