Rally for Ron Semerau!
Donation protected
Our friend Ron Semerau has endured more in the past almost 30 years than most of us can imagine. Two kidney transplants and most recently skin cancer have impacted his life and the life of his beautiful family.
On May 31st, 2017 (his and wife Colleen's 25th Wedding Anniversary) Ron was admitted to the hospital and found to have a brain infection that landed him in the ICU for an extended period of time, with his family and friends left not knowing if he would survive. After being in an induced coma and a breathing tube for 5 days he was taken out of the sedation. The medical team gave the family a 50/50 chance of whether Ron would get through this. To the continued amazement of medical professionals, 8 hours later Ron began moving his eyes, then holding Colleen's hand and nodding to commands. After ICU, he was moved to another floor and then to the rehab floor to help him regains strength. He was released from the hospital at the end of this week! God is good!
Ron is a fighter, and whether he has had surgery, chemo, or any other procedure he has kept doing everything in his power to take care of his family and help friends.
Although he has been released from the hospital, Ron is unable to work. With mounting medical bills we are hoping this gofundme account will take some stress off of Ron and Colleen to give them the opportunity to focus on his recovery from the infection, continued treatment for his cancer and less worry of finances.
