Support John's Healing Journey

Spende geschützt
Hi, Friends. John Harrison is my husband. I am creating this GoFundMe because our lives were just suddenly and unexpectedly upended.

John got short of breath on the morning of April 24th and immediately went to an ER close to his job site out of town. On the same day, he was transferred to Nashville where further testing revealed that John needed extensive open-heart surgery. We were stunned by this news, as John is a healthy, active 51 year old. We braced ourselves to be in the hospital in Nashville for several days, so John’s heart could be repaired.

On the day of surgery, April 29th, we were thrilled and relieved to learn John’s surgery went just as expected and was immediately declared successful. The next morning, John’s surgeon examined him, told him he was looking great, that he would be leaving CVICU to go to a room that day, and likely even going home over the weekend! With everything going beautifully and better than expected, we were celebrating.

Little did we know, within about an hour of our elation, our lives would change dramatically.

John was chatting and about to eat breakfast as we waited to be transferred, when he suddenly (and without warning) had a massive seizure and “coded”. John had to be placed on life-saving machines and medications.

We were told it could be 72 hours before we learned whether John had any injury in his brain.

Time stood still.

Sadly, John does have areas of injury in his brain. Our family is so grateful he is alive and making progress, and we are optimistic that he will recover over time.

We have been in constant prayer and thank each and every one of those who have added our sweet, precious John to your prayer lists. We have a long road ahead of us.

John is a simple man, a treasured friend, a beloved brother, a cherished grandson, and an incredible husband. He works hard, provides, helps take care of his 95 year old grandmother, and is beyond generous and kind.

John is also a fighter, and he’s about to embark on the fight of his life -- a journey of extensive rehabilitation, including physical, occupational and speech therapy. This is in addition to the cardiac rehab from the open-heart surgery. We do not know how long John’s road to recovery will be or when he can leave Nashville to return home for further rehab.

If John is ever able to do his job again, it won’t be anytime soon. I am humbly asking for your help as we approach a mountain of unexpected financial obligations on the immediate horizon. If we are so blessed to receive a donation of any amount from you, 100% of all contributions will go directly towards the financial demands due to John’s devastating setback. And I promise to provide regular updates on John’s progress.

Please pray that John makes a full recovery and please pray for our family. Thank you in advance for your generous love and kindness.

Donations can be made on this gofundme page, or to John's Venmo account, which is @John-Harrison2473, or to John's CashApp account, which is $JohnHarrison8. (Links to both apps are attached below.)

It would also mean the world if you would please share this with your friends and family.

With much gratitude & love,
Samantha Neal Harrison
