Glioblastoma Took Another Good Man
Donation protected
*UPDATE* JUNE 21,2023
It’s been a while since I updated everybody on how things went and also wanting to thank everyone who has reached out to myself and our daughters the first year I believe we were truly in shock and widow brain is a real thing. If it wasn’t for the private group that I men of other widows of GBM, and also trying to be as transparent as I can. I don’t know how I would’ve made it through now that I’m in the second year I feel like reality is hitting me and having to take care of things that honestly Johnny did a lot of I’m grateful that I still have my job , and now I’m in survival mode and again I just want to thank everybody for all the generosity and love and support that was showered upon me and the girls. I have another dear friend whose husband is going through the same journey as my husband did, her name is LeAnn and I asked that everybody keep her and her younger ones in your thoughts and prayers as they go through this journey. Glioblastoma is the worst of the worst of brain cancer, and there is no cure. Nothing can break through that blood brain barrier. I will do everything in my power to be a person that speaks up and seeks out the why behind this disease, and why we have no cure as of yet and also why is there still cookie cutter treatment from a breast cancer patient and Lum patient to a brain cancer patient. It doesn’t work.

UPDATE* My husband, best friend and Father to our 2 daughters, died Oct 3, 2021. I am trying to pick up the pieces and gain a hold on what I need to do. The bills keep coming and life keeps going. It is very difficult but I know I just need to take this ONE DAY AT A TIME! I will shut this GoFundMe down after Christmas. Again, I and my daughters want to thank you all who have been donors as it has assisted us when we had no idea what it how we needed to handle things during this horrible journey we have been in the past year. *UPDATE* we are now on a different phase, HOSPICE. Hi don’t know how we got here so quickly. Your continued monetary support is continuing to help us place focus on my husband if 32 years and father to our beautiful two daughters. Please don’t forget my Johnny.*. Me and the girls are continuing to need your help. Spoke with funeral places yesterday. We are a close knit family who have been hit by a devastating blow....on the morning of November 7, 2020. That Saturday morning we both got in our cars...Johnny going to help a friend that needed her mailbox replaced, and I heading to lead a walk for water filtration awareness for families of Haiti.. I received a call from Johnny saying he wasnt feeling so good, and really was going home.I got home, and Johnny isn't there. I call his cell phone and a nurse in the ER answered it. After finding out Johnny was brought to ER after crashing his truck, I headed to hospital. The worst experience ever!!My husband suffered a seizure while driving, and crashed into a guardrail....and when I arrived at ER Johnny was suffering another seizure.After CT scan and MRI....there was a tumor found and it is a Grade IV Glioblastoma. Johnny had a craniotomy, and was released November 13th. This past Saturday morning, around 2am....I heard Johnny make a noise thinking it was due to the shoulder pain, but I turned light on when he didn't answer me and he was seizing.. It took 19-min for the rescue squad to arrive. Johnny stood up, tried to speak and it was all garbled...Brittanni talked to him saying daddy sit down...once he sat and laid over he began to seize again.Johnny suffered another seizure in the ER. Chemo and Radiation is scheduled for next Tuesday. We are now at a new normal for our little family as our man of the house is needing us three girls to take care of him. I bought a recliner which should be delivered on Dec 16th.I have used up all my PTO time, and we both had been diagnosed with COVID-19 ♀️ I am not getting paid for being out, and I just want to stay with my husband every moment of every day as we know what is to come. I was told that I should start this gofundme....it is very hard to ask anyone for help but I guess now is the time. We will update everyone daily.Best and much love...The Wyatt Family
