We don't know at this point what the out of pocket expenses are going to be for Sarah's hospitalization and recovery period. We do, however, know that her hospital stay, possible therapy needs, and recovery will mean that she'll be out of commission for as much as three months, and as primary income provider their family living expenses will be short by $10,000 over the next 90 days...not including any possible out of pocket medical expenses. Your help in this regard will go a long way toward allowing Sarah and her family to concentrate on getting well! Thank you!

Here's where we are right now.  To the best of our knowledge, Sarah was exposed to COVID 19 around Tues October 20.  She started having symptoms on the 24th, was tested the 26th, and was diagnosed positive on the 28th.   By the weekend she was experiencing serious breathing distress moving toward pneumonia and was admitted to St. Mary's Hospital in Grand Rapids, MI on November 1.  She was placed on supplemental oxygen and  multiple medications almost immediately.  A couple days later she was moved to the COVID area of ICU because of the high level of oxygen support that she needed in order to breathe. Today, eight days later, Sarah is still in the ICU. She's improving, but it's a slow process. And it's going to be a slow process. They've been able to reduce her oxygen to  70 percent. Yesterday she was able to actually get out of bed for the first time in over a week.  Little steps. And what looks to probably be a long recovery. Rya, Quinn and Eli are home with Osceola, quarantining as well. Quinn and Osceola have both tested positive as well but have not been experiencing extreme symptoms.
