John's medical bills and Recovery
Donation protected
Hello, this is Johns daughter, Kali. He is a loving father of two and an adoring husband to his wife, Lisa. He is the hardest working man I know. He has always worked so hard to make sure that we were all taken care of financially, even if that meant working for companies that caused extreme pressures and stress on his physical body.
Tragically on October 16, 2021 he had a massive hemorrhagic stroke & two bleeds on the right lobe of his brain. He had emergency surgery the night of the stroke, where the neurosurgeon felt confident that he had gotten the blood clots successfully out. To our dismay, the next day, the pressure in his head was off, so they took him in for a CT to find the bleed had not stopped. The neurosurgeon then went back in for another cranial procedure to remove the skull on the right side of his head where he was left without his skull for 4 months after to relieve the pressure. Thankfully, the bleed stopped and all CT’s came out clear. He was then taken immediately to TIRR Hermann memorial rehab in Houston, tx to receive strenuous PT. He was only given by insurance, a month there to receive physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy. They helped tremendously, but time would be his friend in this matter. He was discharged December 2, 2021. After a few months his skull was successfully placed back into his head on Valentine’s Day and with insurance, he wasn’t given much more physical therapy. On august 1st, the company he worked for for 15 years, where John never called out sick, told him that they were forcing him into early retirement due to his condition, as he is temporarily paralyzed on his left side and currently can not walk, and he would no longer have health insurance for him or my mom. He has had several procedures and the medical bills are astronomical.
I’m writing all of this to say, financially, my family is in a bind. My mom, me, and my brother are 100% at his side & his caretakers. He is no longer able to work at this time. He is receiving disability, which is not that much, unfortunately. He WANTS and needs more physical therapy. If you can help in any way, it would be greatly appreciated. He and my mother mean the absolute world to me and they deserve the entire world and if I could give it to them, I would.
