Hospital expenses

Hello everyone, many of you have already heard about our story but just in case, here goes.  About a week ago I took my wife to the ER, she had covid. She was pregnant with our first baby girl after 13 years of trying to have a baby. My wife couldn't breathe so I knew I had to do something. After 2 days I was informed that she needed to be rushed to the University of Louisville hospital. She was admitted to Louisville about 3am on the 14th. My sister and I rushed to get there and by the time we had arrived I learned that I missed the birth of my daughter by 20 minutes. My daughter was born 4 weeks and 1 day early. I was then told that in order for my wife to survive that she was going to have to be put on ecmo life support. She was given a 50 percent chance of survival. They said that she might be on it for up to 90 days. At this point I  didn't know what was going to happen. She was on it for 2 days before I finally got to see her and it was via facetime. She was doing well with the ecmo. For the last several days they have been telling me that she might get the ecmo removed. I finally got the call that the ecmo has been removed. Now shes still in the ecmo unit for another couple of days before she is put into regular ICU. I'm not sure how long she will be in there. I'm going to be here until I get to take my wife home. If you find it in your heart to help us out financially we will really appreciate it. But if nothing else we need all the prayers we can get. Thank you so much for taking the time to read our story.
