On Friday, September 23, 2016 Juan Pablo Ramirez fell from a 16 ft. ladder. It's still unclear if it was due to the way he landed, or if his leg was caught in a rung of the ladder. The severity of his injury has family and friends in complete shock,
Pablo not only dislocated his left leg (his knee was bent in the total opposite direction it is naturally intended to bend), but more importantly his Popliteal artery was ripped in half. Mind you, no skin was broken therefore he was bleeding internally. NO BLOOD was traveling to his lower left leg.
Emergency double surgery was done the same evening. A vascular surgeon and an orthopedic surgeon for a few hours to try and save his leg.
Pablo will be on a long road to recovery. He still has two open wounds (fasciotomies=cuts to relieve pressure) on the inside and outside of his left leg, along with external fixators (metal bars that are supporting his leg).
It has been a roller coaster of emotions for him and his family. With Pablo in ICU for 4 days and currently still in the hospital, medical bills are continuing to rise. Medical bill are already piling up.
Any support that you are able to help with is going to be beyond appreciated. Pablo and his family will use any money that is raised to support the family and pay medical bills. These funds are needed ASAP!
Always positive and always smiling, Pablo is need YOUR help.
