Help Sean LeMay out with unexpected medical expens
Donation protected
On Wednesday December 24th, the LeMay family's world was turned upside down. Sean was rushed to the hospital in Dickinson early Wednesday morning with severe abdominal pain. They diagnosed him with an atrial fibrillation, an infected gall bladder and pneumonia. He was transferred to Sanford Medical Center in Bismarck later that morning where he took a turn for the worse, was intubated and put in ICU. It was determined he had gone into severe septic shock due to the infected gall bladder. To add insult to injury, four of his organs were failing, including his heart. His heart was only functioning at 10-15% (normal is 55%). Sean was stable on Christmas morning and at the encouragement of the nurses and family, Jaime drove back to Killdeer to spend the day with their three sons. She was in Manning when the hospital called letting her know Sean's heart had stopped and she needed to get back to Bismarck. The medical staff stabilized Sean enough to put two balloon pumps into his heart in order to get him transferred to the University of Minnesota. It was made clear to Jaime that Sean's chances of surviving the flight were very slim. Thankfully, Sean survived and was immediately placed on a heart/lung bypass machine. Right now, Sean is making small progress daily. His heart is still very weak and doctors are trying to determine why his heart is so weak considering his overall physical shape. He has a very long way to go before he is "out of the woods." Sean and Jaime chose to relocate to Killdeer from Montana in September. Currently, Sean is the sole provider for the family. Jaime is staying in Minnesota with Sean until his doctors determine his life is no longer in danger and he is on the road to recovery. So with hearing all of this please know anything helps and we are very very grateful for all of you saying prayers and helping us out in many ways. Thanks again so much everyone.
