On May 13th, my Uncle Bill began having chest pains.....my aunt rushed him to the hospital where he was then life flighted to Cleveland Clinic. An Aortic Dissection was the cause and it had went all the way to his kidneys. Everyone sat in the hospital through the first 9 hour surgery and then another 4 hour surgery because they could not stop the bleeding. Finally they were able to get him into ICU, but he has been on a vent since and unable to wake up. He is still in very critical condition and things change daily. His wife, Penny, and their children have been at the hospital around the clock since that day and have been taking turns staying in a nearby hotel. This is why I am asking you to help them....the hotel costs are $150 per night and the bill is adding up quickly (this is with the hospital discount). They need to be close in case anything changes and they live an hour and half away.
Today's news was that he had now also suffered several mini stokes and will be in the ICU at least for the next 3 weeks, at which point he may be able to go to rehab. Rehab will be in Canton and they have family to stay with at that point so I am trying to raise enough funds to help with the remaining weeks hospital bills. We appreciate all your prayers (I've been getting calls around the clock and from many who do not even know my Uncle Bill...so greatful!) and genorsity!
