On March 2015 William"Billy" Faulkner was rushed to the hospital with adominal pain and trouble breathing. They sent him to an Oncologist. The Oncologist tested him for cancer. He had swollen lymph nodes so they did a biopsy. The tests came back negative. The problems continued with night sweats, night terrors, and throwing up blood. Billy was sent to internal medicine for extensive testing. Billy was diagnose with copper in his blood and tuberculosis he was put on medicine. That did not solve the problems. the doctors never detected any heart issue. On July 13,2016 the paramedics were called and on arrival they diagnose him as having congestive heart failure which was confirmed at the hospital. He was then rushed to shock trama and was admitted into the Critical Care Unit (CCU) for testing. At that time he was incubated and was put on IV. The results of the tests confirmed that he has a leaking valve in his heart and a blod clot in his leg.  Then on July 18,2016 while he was being prepped for surgery his heart gave out. The doctors spent 45 minutes trying to revive him. The money that we raise will go towards his funeral expenses and outstanding doctor bills. Anything would be greatly appreciated.
